No Time (To Say 'I Love You')

1.
           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

No Time (To Say "I Love You") -- Written 1979 Jun 22, in those years between New Mexico and Chicago, that summer that Mary Jo was living in Chicago without me, and I was living at Tyler's Irwin Farm, without her, and the subsequent years were still an unwritten future.
