And you Yes you speak to me tonight And you say so, say so That once upon a time When love, love was a white dove And hope, long live hope, could spin the whole world 'round
I'm talking east to west I'm talking lost and found Get up to the mountain top I'm going to drop unto the ground
That's once upon a time You raise me up when I know you're around But God only knows, what God only knows You lift me up and you spin me around God only knows, but God only knows
That's time Time looked around herself Time got excited That's when we all got started
Still I hear you, yes still you speak to me tonight You say then how come out of love, is all this cruelty arising? Well I said, look, well will you look at you, you're frightened I see that you smile through weariness But there is not much else enlightened Well, that's a question down to time
You life me up when I know you're around God only knows, God only knows Still you raise me up when I know you're around God only knows, God only knows That's time
