[Verse 1] Life whispers lessons, soft and clear, You can't have it all, my dear. Perfection's a dream that fades away. When you walked into my light, I knew the truth that felt so right. Love twists with fate's uncertain hand, In hearts that pause, yet understand. Your eyes made me feel so free, Though fate pulled you away from me. … [Chorus] If this is the only time I can have with you I'll take it And if our time together is just for us I'll cherish it And if our time together is meant for you I'll hold it [Verse 2] In my heart's mirror, truth shines through, I'm not worthy of someone like you. You're not my past's lingering shade, Nor the future we might have made. We're just whispers in passing air, Not built for forever's care. Bright moments spark and then they fade, Into night's quiet parade. [Chorus] If this is the only time I can have with you I'll take it And if our time together is just for us I'll cherish it And if our time together is meant for you I'll hold it [Verse 3] I'll be your friend, through thick and thin, Till you find the one who fits within. If life lets us stay close by, And time gives us one more try, Your light stays deep in my soul's core, Though our paths lead to different doors. Free from my shadows, clear and bright, Our ways part in the soft twilight. Yet love lingers in this farewell, A sweet hurt that time can't quell. [Chorus] If this is the only time I can have with you I'll take it And if our time together is just for us I'll cherish it And if our time together is meant for you I'll hold it …
