Tekst
You may ask the moon and the stars and the Lord above
What the future holds for you and your new found love
It might be in the tea leaves and written in the sand
But here's one thing that you must understand
From paradise to a broken dream
The step is not as far as it may seem
Our road ahead was looking mighty swell
But here's a lesson we've learned so well
Only time will tell, only time will tell
Well, the fortune teller gazed into her crystal ball
And she saw happiness written on the wall
And in a deck of cards and in the palm of my hand
She said bells would be ringing, I hired a wedding band
From paradise to a broken dream
The step is not as far as it may seem
Our road ahead was looking mighty swell
But here's a lesson we've learned so well
Only time will tell, only time will tell
Well, we took what we had and laid it on the line
And now here we are, miles apart, though we followed every sign
So when your friends all say they envy you for your catch
And even your mother says it's funny how the two of you match
Well, I'm raising a warning finger for the times to come
'Cause I've heard this story repeated more than some
From paradise to a broken dream
The step is not as far as it may seem
Our road ahead was looking mighty swell
But here's a lesson we've learned so well
Only time will tell, yes, only time will tell
Only time will tell
