Abm Gm Eb
There's no time to say "I love you."
Gm
Wouldn't be in ten thousand years!
Abm Gm Eb
There are too many thoughts, feelings, and dreams,
Db
And so quick! before time disappears....
2.
Abm Gm Eb
There's a time and a place for ev'rything,
Gm
And in all of our time to be,
Abm Gm Eb
The place doesn't really matter as long
Db
As space contains you and me.
3.
Abm Gm Eb
And we're both gonna live forever,
Gm
And eventually know what's true.
Abm Gm Eb
But through all of eternity-infinite,
Abm Gm Eb
There's no time to say, "I love you."
Abm Gm Eb
