the gift of time lyrics

I know I've hurt you once before
Your heart can't be denied
The right to break and mend again
I know it takes some time (oh, so much time)
If you believe in love
The way that I believe it's true
That you belong to me
All I can give to you...

The gift of time
Is on my mind
Time and space is what you want
I can't give you anymore
The gift of time
All my life
I will search the whole world over
Until I find you once again
The gift of time...

I heard a whisper from within
Your voice it soothed my soul
Told me a story of
A love I could not hold (I could not hold)
I can't help but cry each time
You pretend that I'm not there
I know it's my mistake
I should know how much I cared

We can find that love again
We can start anew
Give me a chance to prove myself
Let me hold you, let me hold you...
