Time Will Tell

Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell

When I was just a little boy 
Only six years old
I asked my daddy 
What big things my future hold
He said, Son, when you grow up 
To be a man,
The facts of life 
You will start to understand
Nobody knows 
Just what tomorrow may bring
So I want to tell you now, 
And listen while I sing

Father said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell

Now I'm a lonely man 
Trying to make life on my own
Ever since the day I was born, 
I never have a happy home
Just like the river, 
I've been running ever since
The day I was born 
In that broken down little town
I'm wondering now 
Just what my gain will be
Cause it seems to me, 
Happiness I'll never see

Mama said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell

What he say now,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell

Time keeps on changing 
Like the weather and the seasons
For every mistake, Mama said, 
There must be a reason
After a storm, 
There's got to be a calm
So I think I'll wait a while 
And try to wear a smile

Mama said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell

What he say now,
Time will tell - I know, I know!
Time will tell - said I know
Time alone will tell

One more time now
Time will tell - I believe
Time will tell - oh yes, I do!
Time alone will tell - I believe that...
