You touched me. You took me away.
You left me confused when you said you couldn’t stay.
But now I know what you were trying to say.
I can understand that I’m not the only one.
But I believe our time is gonna come.
I dream of you through every night,
But you’re not risin’ with me, so I don’t wanna see the light.
Even if you can’t come over, and I hoping that you might
‘Cause when you’re not here nothing’s any fun.
But I believe our time is gonna come.

I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna
I believe our time is gonna come
