Anne Murray - Time Don't Run Out On Me lyrics

Anne Murray

Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin

Did not cross over to the Pop chart but it was a #2 on the Country chart in 1985

Time, don't run out on me

Gotta make you love me the way you used to do

Gotta get back the feeling and put wind in my sails

And chart a course that gets me back to you, back to you

Oh, the lonely days, the lonely nights lookin' back in time

Time, don't run out on me

I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)

Time, don't run out on me, don't run out on me

There's one more thing I gotta do before I pack it in

Gotta make the right moves, say the right thing to change your mind

And find a way to get you back again, back again

All the wasted time, the lonely nights lookin' back in time

Time, don't run out on me

I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)

Time, don't run out on me

Once I could catch your eye across the room

And know just what you were thinkin'

And when I held you in my arms, we'd dream as one

But those days are gone, somethin' went wrong

And when I wake up to the mornin' sun

I find myself sayin'

Time, don't run out on me, don't run out on me, don't run out on me

Time, don't run out on me

Time, don't run out on me

I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)

Time, don't run out on me (time don't run out on me)

(Time, don't run out on me)

(Time, don't run out on me)

(Time, don't run out on me)
