Time With Clare (c) 2010 Words and Music by John Bjorkman Time, when we were younger, seemed to crawl past by and by But it only took a moment to want you in my life My life was often hard and torn, but your talent was for mending And so my wounds have all been healed with your careful tending You wonder what comes to my mind as I go through my day I tell you, Clare, each span of time has its word to say: A second whispers of your kiss and melts my cares away An hour speaks of walks with you at any time of day A minute tells me holding you is what my arms are for And thirty years together says to wish for thirty more Time, as we grow older, flies faster by and by I’ve loved you more each moment since you became my wife We dream of what we should have done, or would have, if we could We try to forgive the bad, and hold onto the good You wonder what the day will hold, as each dawn breaks anew I tell you, Clare, each span of time repeats its word of you: A second whispers of your kiss and melts my cares away An hour speaks of walks with you at any time of day A minute tells me holding you is what my arms are for And thirty years together says to wish for thirty more So, for a second let me kiss you, perhaps for eight or nine For a minute let me hold you, and know that you are mine Then walk with me an hour beneath the skies of blue Thirty years is not half the time I want to spend with you For a second whispers of your kiss and melts my cares away An hour speaks of walks with you at any time of day A minute tells me holding you is what my arms are for And thirty years together says to wish for thirty more Yes, thirty years of love from you, makes me wish for thirty more
