This Time - Ruthie Foster

Why do the days

Go by so fast

If only time

Was built to last

If it could learn

To take it slow

Then maybe time

At last would know

That if Monday, Tuesday

Should go away

It’ll be Wednesday, Thursday

Then Saturday

And when Sunday comes

It’s just too late

It’s gotta be this time

How come the days

Do what they do

Maybe if time

Time only knew

Could be that time

Don’t really know

That it should try

To take it slow

Then maybe Monday, Tuesday

Won’t go away

Then maybe Thursday, Friday

Could be like Saturday

And when Sunday comes

It’s never too late

It’ll be this time

It’s gotta be this time

How come the days

Do what they do

Maybe if time

Time only knew

That if Monday, Tuesday

Should go away

It’ll be Wednesday, Thursday

Then Saturday

And when Sunday comes

It’s just too late

It’s gotta be this time

It’s gotta be this time

It’s never too late

It’ll be this time
