Time After Time lyrics
Lying in my
bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,
Time after
Sometimes
you picture me
I'm walking
too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you said
Then you
say go slow
I fall
behind
The second
hand unwinds
If you're
lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after
time
If you're
lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I will be waiting
Time after
time
After my
picture fades and darkness has
Turned to
gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're
lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after
time
You say go
slow
I fall
behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're
lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after
time
If you're
lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be
waiting
Time after
time
Time after
time
Time after time
Time after time
