Texty: Richie Sambora. Father Time.

Father Time, I couldn't make her wanna stay
I couldn't seem to find the words to say
Now, I have to live in yesterday

Father Time, I thought that you were on my side
I thought that I could keep our love alive
I thought that I could keep her satisfied

The clock keeps tickin'
And I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
I'm knockin' at the door of your heart
But I can't break through

Father Time, grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father Time, don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father Time

Now she's gone, she didn't even say goodbye
I guess she didn't have the heart to try
She didn't even have the guts to lie

Father Time, only you can turn the page
And close the curtain on this empty stage
Only you can take my pain away


Well, my heart keeps breakin'
And my body keeps achin' for you
It's time to hold on
But there's nothin' left to hold on to

Father Time, grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father Time, don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father Time

Father, Father can't you see
I'm dependin' on you
I'm dyin' at the door to your heart
And I can't break through

Father Time, grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father Time, don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father Time

She's your child make her mine
Father Time
