TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO, 

TIME ONLY KNOWS THE PRICE WE HAVE TO PAY; 

IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW. 



IF WE SHOULD WEEP WHEN CLOWNS PUT ON THEIR SHOW, 

IF WE SHOULD STUMBLE WHEN MUSICIANS PLAY, 

TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO. 



THERE ARE NO FORTUNES TO BE TOLD, ALTHOUGH, 

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I CAN SAY, 

IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW. 



THE WINDS MUST COME FROM SOMEWHERE WHEN THEY BLOW, 

THERE MUST BE REASONS WHY THE LEAVERS DECAY; 

TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO. 



PERHAPS THE ROSES REALLY WANT TO GROW, 

THE VISION SERIOUSLY INTENDS TO STAY; 

IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW. 



SUPPOSE THE LIONS ALL GET UP AND GO, 

AND ALL THE BROOKS AND SOLDIERS RUN AWAY; 

WILL TIME SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO? 

IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.
