TIME WAS WHEN

Time was when
I didn't have the time for anyone
Time was when
I really didn't make the time
But that was then
When I was swimming in the shallow end
That was then but
This is now
And I've stumbled on a bit of extra room
And I've found
A better angle to my soul
We went round
And I came into some love to give
And a desire to give it
And I'm looking at you
And I like this picture
To be your company in the evening
To be your comfort in the night
To see you through into the morning
And I could do that for you
I could do that
I know you
You keep your blues so battened down
I know you
You only turn them on yourself
But I see through
Or maybe I just think I do
So tell me if I'm wrong
But those overcast eyes
Say you're needing someone
To be your company in the evening
To be your comfort in the night
To see you through into the morning
And I could do that for you
I could do that for you
I could do that for you
I could do that for you
'Cos it's not lined with trouble
It's not wired to fate
Love's just life lived double
And I'm blooming late
But I'm blooming, I'm blooming yeah yeah
Time was when
I didn't have the time for anyone
Time was when
I simply didn't take the time
But not again, no no no
'Cos I've seen the sights and climbed the heights
Just to stand there by myself
And you're looking at me
'Cos you've been there, you've done that too
To be your company in the evening
I could do that
To be your comfort in the night
I could do that
To see you through into the morning
And I could do that for you
I could do that for you
I could do that for you
I could do that for you
I could do that for you
I could do that
To be your comfort in the night
To see you through into the morning
And I could do that for you
I can do that
