A Little More Time Lyrics - Singles - Doe John

There was a time when the sun shined 

Played in your soft blond hair 

Reflected in your golden eyes 

You leaned back your head and you laughed 

About tomorrow 

And then it came like a new day 

The sun in the sky beamed 

Water sparkled down the stream 

We knew this would all go away 

But not today 

And when it did you were better 

Better than the day you were born 

Not quite so perfectly formed 

The only wish I had that day 

That it would stay 

CHORUS: 

Just a little more time, with you 

With me, with you 

Just a little more time, with you and me. 

Down by the stream in the mountains 

I promised you faithfully 

That I would never leave 

If'n when I went away 

I'd still protect you 

But now I'm gone and the loose ends 

Are strings running through my hands 

Tied to an empty land 

Stuck on a steering wheel 

In Nebraska 

But I'm around so baby call me 

Just before you go to bed 

Before you lay down your head 

Or if you need an old fashioned cry 

I'm your guy 

CHORUS 

There was a time...
