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 Performed live with John Doe during the Hurtin' and Flurtin' tour in 2008 | |||||||
