I wait and I watch as you pass
By my way
The fate of my life in your hands
So they say
A love that is senseless to touch
My heart needs to love you so much
But thousands of sunsets between us
Keep me away

I see your pretty young face
And it stirs my soul
A voice from deep in my heart
Says I'm too old
The wine drowns the passion I feel
If only my dreams could be real
It's time that's turned this man into a fool

The world just keeps moving on
It whispers its song of sleep
Alone in the dark
All your shadows I keep

I distance myself from your smile
Then I pray
For miracles bridging the time
And the space
I feel the young man inside
He knows of the tears that I cried
But time won't allow me to leave this lonely place

And life keeps rollin' along
For me not so very kind
The reason is clear
It's a question of time

If only the twilight allowed us a dance
And pause these two ships in the night
For a chance
But fantasies never come true
I know I can't ever have you
I'll leave this earth as I am.... Some crazy fool

And life keeps rollin' along
For me not so very kind
The reason is clear
It's a question of time
It's a question of time
It's a question of time
It's a question of time
It's a question of time
