A Little More Time With You
Lyrics by Hal Pollock
It was a day I still recall
The day that I met you
For even then on that first day
Down deep inside I knew
That you and I would always be
It was our destiny
I never planned one day I’d find
That there was only me
They say time waits for no one
That it always marches on
Like sand inside the hourglass
It’s there and then it’s gone
You always think you have more time
But often you are wrong
And when the clock strikes twelve you find
You’re singing a sad song
What I would give if I could have
A little more time with you
So many things I would have said
And some that we would do
A little more time is all I ask
To go back once again
To you and me together
And the way we were back then
When you are young time matters not
There’s more than you could need
You think you’ll live forever
It’s as if some god decreed
But when you’re old you come to learn
How precious time can be
You try to make each minute count
Not spend it carelessly
In all my life there’s only once
That I saw time stand still
I remember it like yesterday
I’m sure I always will
It was the day you left me
Now I’m abso-sad and blue
Wishing that I only had
A little more time with you
What I would give if I could have
A little more time with you
So many things I would have said
And some that we would do
A little more time is all I ask
To go back once again
To you and me together
And the way we were back then
