[Verse 1]
I knew something was the matter
It really needed my attention
And I had planned to look into it someday
But I was busy making money
I wanted you to be proud of me
Now I wish I could turn the clock back some way

[Chorus]
I thought there was time

[Verse 2]
I never thought that you would leave me
I always thought that I could find you
Somewhere near a phone to answer when I call
Now you have my full attention
Now you're all that I can think of
This is not what I expected at all

[Chorus]
I thought there was time
I thought there was time

[Verse 3]
Are you even on this planet
Can you see these pretty flowers
Or am I standing here just talking to the wind
How I wish that I had told you
How I wish that I had shouted
I love you I love you I love you I love you back then

[Chorus]
I thought there was time
I thought there was time
I thought there was time
I thought there was time
