If I Could Tell You Lyrics

TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO,
TIME ONLY KNOWS THE PRICE WE HAVE TO PAY;
IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.

IF WE SHOULD WEEP WHEN CLOWNS PUT ON THEIR SHOW,
IF WE SHOULD STUMBLE WHEN MUSICIANS PLAY,
TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO.

THERE ARE NO FORTUNES TO BE TOLD, ALTHOUGH,
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I CAN SAY,
IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.

THE WINDS MUST COME FROM SOMEWHERE WHEN THEY BLOW, THERE MUST BE REASONS WHY THE LEAVERS DECAY;
TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO.

PERHAPS THE ROSES REALLY WANT TO GROW,
THE VISION SERIOUSLY INTENDS TO STAY;
IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.

SUPPOSE THE LIONS ALL GET UP AND GO,
AND ALL THE BROOKS AND SOLDIERS RUN AWAY;
WILL TIME SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO?
IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.
