Etta James Only Time Will Tell Lyrics

Only Time Will Tell Lyrics

(Etta James)



I just needed someone, somebody to hold

When the
bottle was empty

And the nights grew cold

In my hour of darkness

In my time of need

You were my angel of mercy

And helped me to
believe

You touched my soul

When I was lonely

You held me
up

When I couldn't fly

There's no words could explain

How I
feel inside

And this I tell you

In a world full of anger

In
times gone strange

You held me close

You held me close to you

Lay my head on your shoulder

I finally let it all out

It felt
good for a moment

Not living in a shadow of doubt

But everybody
needs a little something

To pull them through

I gave one for the
other

And God know that the other was you

Now only time will
tell

Only time will tell

If our love is scratched in sand

Or
if it's etched in stone

Only time will tell

Only time will tell

If our love will stand

Or walk the road alone

My angel of
mercy

Pulled me through somehow

I just hope you know

I need
you now

You're the one

That touched my very soul

The one who
held on tight

God knows you never let go

Now only time will tell

Only time will tell

If our love is scratched in sand

Or if it's
etched in stone

Only time will tell

Only time will tell

If
our love will stand

Or walk the road alone

Only time will

Only time will

( Can you bring my hands to yours)

Only time will
tell

( Can you teach my soul to fly)

Only time will

Only time
will

(Can you save me)

Only time will tell

Angel of mercy

It's time we closed the door

Put out the lights

And burn the
fire

Burn the fire inside

Angel of mercy
