Only Time Will Tell Songtext
von Etta James

Cigarette ashes
His empty glass
They seem to tell me
It′s over at last
His parting kiss
Brought tears to my eyes
Was it goodnight
Or was it goodbye?

And only time, only time,
Only time, only time,
Time will tell
Time will tell
Oh yes it is, time will tell


Wrinkled up sofa
Scuff marks on the floor
Shows where he was sitting
He was sitting a moment ago
He's never left
This early before
Is this a sign
He′ll be back no more?

And only time, only time,
Only time, only time,
Time will tell
Time will tell
Oh yes it is, time will tell

I felt a change the moment you came
Walking, hh coming through my front door
This conversation was almost the same
Still I could tell that something was wrong,
His feelings were changed

Now empty those ashtrays
His glass put away,
Straighten my sofa
Oh was my solid race

But will I ever,
Will ever erase from my mind
The way you looked me,
The way you looked me,
When you kissed me goodnight.


Only time (Only time)
Only time (Only time)
Only time
Only time
Only time
Only time (Only time)
Only time (Only time)
Only time will tell
