A Little More Time [John Doe]


There was a time
When the sunshine played in your soft blond hair
Reflected in your golden eyes
You leaned back your head and you laughed about tomorrow

And there it came like a new day
The sun in the sky beamed
Water sparkled down the stream
We knew this would all go away but not today

And when it did you were better
Better than the day you were born
Not quite so perfectly formed
The only wish I had that day that it would stay

Just a little more time with you
With me with you
Just a little more time with you
and me

Down by the stream in the mountains
I promised you faithfully
That I would never leave
If and when I went away I'd still protect you

But now I'm gone and the lose ends
Are strings hanging from my hands
Tied to an empty land
Stuck on a steering wheel in Nebraska

But I'm around so baby call me
Just before you go to bed
Before you lay down your head
Or if you need an old-fashioned cry I'm the guy

Just a little more time with you
With me with you
Just a little more time with you
With me with you
Just a little more time with you
And me

There was a time
