Only Time Knows

(A Romantic 80s Smooth Pop Ballad with a Gentle Funk Anchor) [Verse 1] Golden light on your skin, just like before Your laughter lingers, but you walk out the door Every heartbeat, every sigh, plays on repeat But time keeps moving, dancing on a steady beat (oh, so slow) [Pre-Chorus] Maybe love ain't lost, maybe it just waits Drifting through the night, knocking on the gates If we reach beyond the past, let the rhythm show Only time knows, only time knows... [Chorus] Only time knows where love will go Like a melody soft on the radio (ooh, stay close) If the stars still shine like they did back then Could we turn back time and start again? [Verse 2] Streetlights flicker on this lonely avenue Every song reminds me, every chord rings true Shadows fade, but your touch still lingers Wrapped around my soul like a ghost in silver fingers (mmm, hold tight) [Pre-Chorus] Maybe love ain't gone, maybe it's just still Waiting for the moment, waiting for the thrill If we slow it down and let the rhythm flow Only time knows, only time knows... [Chorus] Only time knows where love will go Like a melody soft on the radio (ooh, stay close) If the stars still shine like they did back then Could we turn back time and start again? [Bridge] (Do we dare?) Take a step into the past (Should we try?) Love could make the moment last If we listen close and follow where it flows Maybe time already knows... [Final Chorus] Only time knows where love will go Like a record spinning soft and low (mmm, let it play) If the rhythm’s right and the night is true Maybe love will find its way back too [Outro] Soft whispers in the midnight air (so tender, so light) Maybe love was never gone... just waiting for time.
