Another Time from Spirit by Darrell Grant

I would have held you to me another time
If I had known there would not be another time
I would buy today to bring back yesterday
Before it slipped away.

If we could walk hand in hand another time
And never come upon this land of left behind
Not this day that innocence departed, no warning.
Not this place where all the broken-hearted are carried away

To see the smile on your face another time
I would create another place another time
I would cry for peace
I would make war to cease
if it would bring release.

To find you waiting for me another time
And to be certain I would hold your hand in mine
I would pray on every star in heaven, and weeping
I would dream myself awake from sleeping
And cherish the day.

And so tomorrow will be another time
And it is not the will of fate to change her mind
We may only have today to savor this treasure
Every hour is precious beyond measure
give it to love.
