THIS TIME
(David Hidalgo / Louie Pérez) 
Los Lobos


Why do the days 
Go by so fast 
If only time 
Was built to last 

If it could learn 
To take it slow 
Then maybe time 
At last would know 

That if Monday, Tuesday 
Should go away 
It'll be Wednesday, Thursday 
Then Saturday 
And when Sunday comes 
It's just too late 
It's gotta be this time 

How come the days 
Do what they do 
Maybe if time 
Time only knew 

Could be that time 
Don't really know 
That it should try 
To take it slow 

Then maybe Monday, Tuesday 
Won't go away 
Then maybe Thursday, Friday 
Could be like Saturday 
And when Sunday comes 
It's never too late 
It'll be this time 
It's gotta be this time 

How come the days 
Do what they do 
Maybe if time 
Time only knew 

That if Monday, Tuesday 
Should go away 
It'll be Wednesday, Thursday 
Then Saturday 
And when Sunday comes 
It's just too late 
It's gotta be this time 
It's gotta be this time 
It's never too late 
It'll be this time
