THIS TIME

THIS TIME

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018

THE WIND CHIMES ARE MAKING SONGS OF GLASS

BLOWING IN THE BREEZE

SWINGING TO AND FRO

THE SUN SHINING DOWN

ON THIS EMPTY TOWN

IT SEEMS EVERYBODY'S GONE AWAY

I CAN'T SAY I REALLY MIND

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT GETS LEFT BEHIND

GOOD OR BAD I'VE HAD MY TURN

AND I'LL HAVE IT AGAIN

BUT JUST FOR NOW ALL THIS IS MINE

SOMEHOW SOMETIMES

THE ENVELOPING SILENCE

FINDS MYSELF CAUGHT UP IN SOME DREAM

WHERE CHRYSTAL BLUE WATERS MEET THE SAND

A FIRE ON THE BEACH LIGHTS THE SKY

WE SIT THERE YOU AND I

WHILE THE SEA WASHES IN

 chorus

 DREAMS DIE HARD WHEN THEY FALL

BUT I'M NOT WORRIED AT ALL

THERE'S ALWAYS A SECOND CHANCE

THIS TIME I WON'T THROW SO MANY STONES

TRY TO CARRY ALL THE ONES I OWN

I'LL LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIND

WHAT IS THIS LIFE WITHOUT BEING KIND

 WHEN THE SUN BREAKS OVER A NEW DAY

UP OR DOWN, ITS STILL MINE

RIGHT AS RAIN AND TWICE AS LIKELY TO BE

BETTER THAN YESTERDAY

WE'LL TAKE THE PATH

 WHERE THE WILDFLOWERS BLOOM

SAVOR EACH MOMENT OF A PERFECT AFTERNOON

ONE LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

AND I'LL SEE WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING

ALL THE LOVE YOU'VE BEEN SAVING UP FOR ME

AND YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I AIM SO HIGH

THE BEAUTY AND THE PEACE I FIND

ITS ALL COMING BACK TO ME

ITS STARTING TO SHINE

COME TOMORROW IT WILL ALL BE FINE

I GUESS ONE MORE NIGHT WON'T MATTER

THIS TIME, I WON'T THROW SO MANY STONES
