Time in Love

I won't ask you for a promise you can not make
I won't tie you to a bargain that you will break
Love is just another counter in the trade
Like a coin, easily spent, but dearly made

So Father Time, he runs slow, but he runs to keep
And in these hours of time our love may run deep
In the clock that seems so meek
Every minute with you is what I seek

I won't ask you for forever - just tonight
Just the time between now and morning light
I won't tie my karma to you, that's not fair
And that's no way to prove that I care

I won't beg for the things you may not feel
Just the little time together we can steal
I won't ask you to say things you know are lies
For I know that tears are all that lying buys

But if you decide to stay here by my side
Then I'll show you all the feelings that I hide
And I'll try to make you happy that you stayed
Then we'll show the world just how the game of love is played
