"If There Were Time" lyrics

If there were time
Oh I would buy you a ribbon of rain
And a silver tongued nightingale
To sing out your name

If there were time
Oh I would fly you across the room
Then I'd carry you back again
Through the afternoon

If there were time
Wouldn't we have a time
And wouldn't we set the stars to dancing
With our heartbeats keeping time

If there were time
Oh I would wake you when the snowfall comes
Then we'd watch those flakes dissolve again
Beneath the winter sun

But time is a messenger
That comes and goes so fast
And while thinking up the good times
All our good times have passed
