and Olivia Hussey

- Words by Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder and Music by Nino Rota

A time for us, some day there'll be

When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free

A time when dreams so long denied can flourish

As we unveil the love we now must hide

A time for us, at last to see

A life worthwhile for you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns

We will endure as we pass surely through every storm

A time for us, some day there'll be a new world

A world of shining hope for you and me

For you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns

We will endure as we pass surely through every storm

A time for us, some day there'll be a new world

A world of shining hope for you and me

A world of shining hope for you and me
