Allan Taylor - When Time is Short lyrics

How come we can't get along?

We tried so hard and it all goes wrong.

It's hard to be wise and strong

When time is short and nights are long …

Problems always come around

When dreams are built on shaky ground.

When and way out can't be found.

Crying at night is a lonely sound.

REFRAIN:

We don't know what to do

To find a way to get us through.

What is right, what is true,

What is good for me and you …

What is good for me and you.

Sorry can be hard to say

When pride and fear get in the way.

It just gets worse from day to day ...

Sorry can be hard to say …

So close your eyes and let it go,

Let your dreams drift with the flow.

It takes time for love to grow.

Close your eyes and let it go.

REFRAIN

How come we can't get along?

We tried so hard and it all goes wrong.

It's hard to be wise and strong

When time is short and nights are long …

When time is short ... and nights are long ...
