Time and Tide Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
It's hard for me to stop my heart
Love never knows
When the time is right
I don't want to hurt anybody
But can't help loving you (ooh)

[Verse 2]
I never felt like this before
I know this is passion worth waiting for
Let love take it's course
That's the only thing
For us to do, oh

[Chorus]
We got time
Oh, baby, there's no rush
Gonna be a better day for us
Hang on
And I will wait for you
Our love will always
Stay as good as new
[Verse 3]
Time and tide
Nothing and no one
Can stop us now
For better for worse
This time I'm sure it's gonna last yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 4]
How can I stop my heart
Love never knows
When the time is right
Don't want to hurt anybody
Don't want to make them cry
Don't want to make them cry

[Chorus]
We got time
Oh, baby, there's no rush (oh)
Gonna be a better day for us (woah)
Hang on (oh)
And I will wait for you
Our love will always
Stay as good as new

[Bridge]
Yeah, it's a matter of time
Only a matter of time
It's a matter of
Time and tide
Nothing and no one can stop us now
For better for worse
This time I'm sure
It's gonna last, gonna last forever
[Chorus]
We got time
Oh, baby, there's no rush (woah)
Gonna be a better day for us (yeah)
Hang on
And I will wait for you
Our love will always
Stay as good as new

[Outro]
Yeah
Our love will always stay
As good as new (Woah)
We got time
Oh, baby, there's no rush (yeah)
Gonna be a better day for us (oh)
Hang on
And I will wait for you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
