christine mcCherry - Time Will Tell

TIME WILL TELL
T'was time that helped the apples on the tree
Blush and ripen in the warm Autumn light
And at that moment when he smiled at me
I saw his love was shining pure and bright

But winters frost was not so far away
And time did chill the flame of sweet desire
Loves burning passion died one dark cold day
There were no feelings left to feed the fire.

Yet still I talk and smile and say hello
Remain polite throughout the sad farewell
Too late to plead, I watch him turn and go
Will I forget him now? Only time will tell

And time can reap a bitter harvest, yet
As long as I have breath I never will forget.
