[Verse 1]
What a wonderful world this is
What a wonderful world this is
It makes me want to kiss
What a beautiful kiss this is
What a beautiful kiss of life
Just before I die

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've been spending time
I've been losing time

[Chorus]
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time can help you find the ground
Then knock you off your feet
All those minutes get lost in time
One step forward, two steps behind
So before I think myself too deep
What a wonderful world this is

[Verse 2]
What a wonderful world this is
What a delicate tale of bliss
That I don't want to miss
In this moment where we all exist
On the precipice of the abyss
It always was how it is

[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Spending time)
I've been spending time
(Wasting time)
I've been wasting time

[Chorus]
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time can help you find the ground
Then knock you off your feet
All those minutes get lost in time
One step forward, two steps behind
So before I think myself too deep
What a wonderful world this is

[Bridge]
No time
(Am I losing my mind)
No time
(Am I losing my mind)
There's no time for us
No time for us
Until we're out of time

[Outro]
(We're running out of time)
There's not time for us, no time
What a wonderful world this is
(We're running out of time)
There's no time for us, not time
(We're running out of time)
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
(Running out of time)
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
(Running out of time)
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
(Running out of time)

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
