Until Its Time For You To Go Lyrics - The Heart Of The Matter - Jane Monheit

(Buffy Sainte-Marie) 

[Intro by Harvey Fuqua & Honey Cone's Carolyn Willis:] 

Honey? Honey? 

Yeah? 

It's time. 

I know. But it's been so nice. 

Yeah, it has been groovy. 

But there's something I have to tell you first 

And it's a long story. 

[Lead vocals by Susaye Greene:] 

You're not a king 

You're not an angel 

You're a man 

I'm not a queen 

I'm a woman 

Please take my hand 

We'll make a space 

In our lives that we planned 

And here we'll stay 

Yeah, here we'll stay 

Until it's time for you to go 

Yes, we're different, we're worlds apart 

We're not the same 

We laughed and play from the start 

Just like you were in the game 

You could have stayed 

Outside my heart 

But no, no, no, no, in you came 

And here you'll stay 

Yes, here you'll stay 

Until it's time for you to go 

(ooh ooh ooh ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh) 

(time to go) 

Don't ask me why (ask me why) 

Don't you dare don't ask me how 

(don't ask me how) 

Don't ask forever 

Just love me, baby 

Love me 

Love me now 

Ahhhh, this love of mine (love of mine) 

(had no beginning, ooh ooh) 

It has no end 

I was an oak 

Now I'm a willow (willow) 

And you know, baby, I can bend 

And though you'll never 

Never, never, never, ever see me again 

(never, never, never, never) 

It's too late, baby 

Yeah, it's too late 

Too late, now 

It's time for you to go, oh oh oh oh 

And here, here 

Here I'm gonna stay 

Until it's tiiiiiiiiiiiime for you to go, oh oh 

Go-o-o, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh 

It's too late, baby, yes 

I hate to see you go, boy 

Hey-ey-ey-ey 

I know you have to go on 

Stay, love 

Just stay don't go 

Ple-e-eeeeeeee-ease 

Please, please, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeee-e-ease
