Time Will Tell

Time Will Tell - Jimmy Cliff

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

When I was just a little

Boy only six years old

I asked my daddy what big

Things my future hold

He said Son when you

Grow up to be a man

The facts of life you will

Start to understand

Nobody knows just what

Tomorrow may bring

So I want to tell you now

And listen while I sing

Father said

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

Now I'm a lonely man trying

To make life on my own

Ever since the day I was born

I never have a happy home

Just like the river

I've been running ever since

The day I was born in that

Broken down little town

I'm wondering now just

What my gain will be

Cause it seems to me

Happiness I'll never see

Mama said

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

What he say now

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

Time keeps on changing like

The weather and the seasons

For every mistake Mama said

There must be a reason

After a storm there's got to be a calm

So I think I'll wait a while

And try to wear a smile Wear a smile

Mama said

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

What he say now

Time will tell I know I know

Time will tell said I know

Time alone will tell

One more time now

Time will tell I believe

Time will tell oh yes I do

Time alone will tell I believe that
