I never had the time to say I love you, I always thought you'd be here when I cried, But now I've found you're disappearing forever, And I have run out of time. I've lived my life alone, Afraid to be hurt again, So I spent all this time convincing myself, That we were only friends, But as we near the ending, Of what used to be, I see more than my friend, I see what I really need. You have touched my heart, Like no other man, If only I could somehow, Turn back the hands of time again, To see those days of happiness, joy, and light, And to tell you the truth that I hid, So deep and dark inside. But now you're preparing to leave, Just another man in a war, And even if you come back, It may be with someone else to adore. Yet as I face the truth, I can only see, We're running out of time, For you and for me. But don't worry my love, I'll say if once again, Although you never knew it, You always were my man, And it's not your fault, That I'll be lonely again, Since I have run out of time. Oh I wish I had more time! But we are out of time, my friend. No, I never had the time to say, I love you.
