Time Will Tell - Millie Small

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

When I was just a little girl only six years old

I asked my daddy what big things my future hold

He said girl when you grow up to be a woman

The facts of life you will start to understand

Nobody knows just what tomorrow may bring

So I want to tell you now and listen while I sing

Father said

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

Now I'm a lonely woman trying to make life on my own

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

Just like the 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

Mama said

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

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

Mama said

Time will tell time will tell

Time alone will tell

Time will tell

Time will tell

I know time alone will tell

Time will tell

Time will tell

Time will tell time will tell
