Asia - Only Time Will Tell Lyrics






You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now

[Chorus:]
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell
(Only time will tell)
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

[Chorus]

[Repeat first verse]
[Repeat second verse]
[Chorus]

(Only time will tell)
You're on your own
Inside your room
(Only time will tell)
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now

(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell...

  58. j.... m....

  67. L.... C....

    Playing this song today in memory of my brother, my best friend Bub. He passed away on Dec 7, 2019 on his birthday. This was the last song we sang together before he died. We listened to Asia growing up, one of our favorite bands. This brings back so many memories. I will forever cherish this being the last song we sang in the car together, on our way back from Ohio. I miss you brother. I won't ever forget you, your love, and all the songs we listened to, together. I love you forever. I will forever be lost without you. <3

  68. D.... ....

  73. J.... S....

    That intro had me thinking about a NES game lol

  74. P.... G....

    This album has such an amazing production value. The vocals are top notch and every instrument comes in crisp and heavy. This album does not belong on headphones but cranked up on an epic old-school stereo system.

  75. M.... L....

    Tellement agréable j'adore 😊

  76. M.... ....

    You're on your own
    Inside your room
    You're claiming victory
    You were just using me

  80. C.... C....

    This sing brings me back to 82 and my 72 charger S,E .what I lost. I'll never forget or forgive

  81. M.... A....

    In 1982 I was in gr. 8, this song reminds me of that year everytime I hear it. I know the reference is in regards to a bar from what I've read but to me it will always make me think of that year. I miss the 80s and all that it was.

  82. S.... V....
