This Time Songtext
von Robin Jackson

The night once was young, just like you and I
And love we thought we′d never lose
A picture of perfection, we painted on our eyes
Always looking for something new, ooh-ooh-ooh

And now time has dealt its hand
And here we are still standing
Waiting for our ships to come in
The streets are getting lonely and the wind whispers, "If only"
And maybe it's time for "if only" to begin

So raise up your flag, put the moon in your sack
Forgive and let go, and never look back
′Cause time won't wait for us to get it perfectly right
And so if you're willing, I′ll dance with you tonight
Dance with you tonight

And I can see that you′ve been here as long as I
Many times, fell from this carousel
The tears in our clothing every bump from the ride
We've got to know ourselves far too well


So darling, life is short
And the sun is moving faster
So put your lipstick on
Or we′re headed for disaster

I think it's safe to say
We′re both a work in progress
So, let's put down our pride
Before we miss the boat again

So raise up your flag, put the moon in your sack
Forgive and let go, and never look back
′Cause time won't wait for us to get it perfectly right
And so if you're willing, I′ll dance with you tonight

Put stars in your flask and tell the band to play
Stop waiting around for the perfect sunny day
Let′s make love in the rain
And leave the past behind
And I promise to you, I'll stay this time
Stay this time

Stay this time
Stay this time
Stay this time
Ooh, ah-ah-ah
Ooh, oh, oh
