Written by Louise Goffin, Bill Olvia & Gerry Goffin. 





There comes a time when I just don't know 

It always seems to happen when you go 

I need you standing by 



Every time you leave, it all seems wrong 

Something dies inside every time you're gone 

I need you standing by 



When you're with me, trouble fades away 

Love you give me is easy to repay 

Time won't stand still, you know it's gonna fly 

But when time is without you . . . 

It might as well pass by. 



I got good love to give you 

But it ain't gonna happen if you don't come through 

If you want me you gotta try 



You should know by now we don't have to compete 

Just like the time we met on that two- way street 

You'll find out I speak no lie 



When you're with me, trouble fades away 

Love you give me is easy to repay 

Time won't stand still, you know it's gonna fly 

But when time is without out . . . 

It might as well pass by.
