Time, don't run out on me
Gotta make you love me
The way you used to do

Gotta get back the feeling
And put wind in my sails
And chart a course that gets me
Back to you, back to you

Oh, the lonely days
The lonely nights
Looking back in time

Time, don't run out on me
I've gotta get back to
Where we used to be
(Where we used to be)

Time, don't run out on me
Don't run out on me
There's one more thing
I gotta do before I pack it in

Gotta make the right moves
Say the right thing to change your mind
And find a way to get you
Back again, back again

All the wasted time
The lonely nights
Looking back in time

Time, don't run out on me
Gotta get back to
Where we used to be
(Where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me

Once, I could catch
Your eye across the room
And know just what
You we're thinking
And when I held you in my arms
We'd dream as one

But those days are gone
Something went wrong
And when I wake up to the morning sun
I find myself saying

Time, don't run out on me
Don't run out on me
Don't run out on me
Time, don't run out on me
Time, don't run out on me

Gotta get back to
Where we used to be
(Where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me

(Time, don't run out on me)
(Time, don't run out on me)
(Time, don't run out on me)
(Time, don't run out on me...)
