Time Will Tell - Jimmy Cliff

Written by：Jimmy Cliff

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone alone will tell

When i was just a little boy only six years old

I asked my daddy what he thinks my future hold

He said son when you grow up to be a man

The facts of life you will start to understand

Nobody knows just what tomorrow may bring

So i wanna tell you now and listen while i sing

Father said time will tell time will tell

Time alone alone will tell

Now i'm a lonely man trying to make life on my own

Ever since the day i was born i never have a happy home

Just like a river i've been running ever since

The day i was born in that broken down little town

I'm wondering now just what my gain will be

'Cause it seems to me happiness i'll never see

Never see

Mama said time will tell time will tell

Time alone alone will tell

What he say now time will tell time will tell

Time alone alone will tell oh yeah

Time keeps on changing like the weather and the seasons

For every mistake mama said there must be a reason

After a storm there's got to be a calm

So i think i'll wait a while and try to wear a smile

Wear a smile

Mama said time will tell time will tell

Time alone alone will tell

What he say now time will tell time will tell

Time alone alone will tell

One more time now

Time will tell time will tell
