ONLY TIME WILL TELL (Adagio "Notturno")
Franz Schubert /Pierre Delano /
Claude Lemesle / Stewart James /
Bradley James

as recorded by Nana Mouskouri 1988


Love changed our lonely lives,
Good as by surprise,
Opened up our eyes.
Somehow we both knew
Something rare and true,
Something bright and new
Could be ours for ever!

But love,
Love cannot be planned,
More you try to learn,
Less you understand!
Words could not dispel
What we know so well,
Only time will tell!

Like a tree (like a tree)
As it grows, (as it grows)
We will reach (we will reach)
For the sky! (for the sky)
Like a breeze (like a breeze)
Gently blows, (gently blows)
We'll be free, (we'll be free)
You and I! (you and I)
All we know, (all we know)
Time alone (time alone)
Holds the key!

Love changed our lonely lives,
Good as by surprise,
Opened up our eyes.
Somehow we both knew
Something rare and true,
Something bright and new
Could be ours for ever!

But love,
Love cannot be planned,
More you try to learn,
Less you understand!
Words could not dispel
What we know so well,
Only time will tell!
Only time alone will tell!
Time, only time will tell!
