We stood before our friends and pledged eternal love,

To have and to hold.

We both meant every word and spoke of one above,

Love could not grow old.



But then I found myself, so many nights

With time my only friend.

And I only saw it in your eyes

Too late to make amends… Darling



Time can be a healer or time can divide

I never meant for anyone to take you from my side.

But I'm just a man (just a man)

And it comes down to this

I was just too weak to resist.



If only I had known I'd caused you so much pain

I would not have strayed

And though I promise you I'll never fall again baby

I must lie in this bed that I've made.



And though I'm hurting you I swear it was

The last thing on my mind

And I found myself on my own

One too many times … darling



Time can be a healer or time can divide
