There Was a Time歌词

They sit and wait
Waiting for the light to fade away
Perhaps to rise another day
To sit and wait
Another month, another year
And still be here
The same old place, the same old chair

Every day is much the same
It only changes name
They sit and wait

There was a time
When hope was in their hearts
And drove them on
There was a time to carry on
This was their time
For they were young and unafraid
And plans were made
Before the flowers came to fade
But those days have passed away
And they just look at you and say
There was a time
Oh how they danced
They all remember clear
How they danced
They danced with ribbons in their hair
And how they sang
When wedding bells were rung and sung again
For they were busy being young
When they close their eyes it seems
They're still dancing in their dreams
How they danced
How they danced
