[Verse 1]
E A
Before we knew the world was round, before we sailed the sea
A E
Before we said what’s yours is yours, what’s mine belongs to me
[Verse 2]
E A
The world was made of people, and no lines were drawn between
A E
We looked upon a stranger, as a friend we never seen
[Chorus]
G#7 C#m7
Then somehow we were blinded, somehow we lost our way
A B B7
We let our own difference grow, to what it is today
E G#m7 C#m7 A A7
Now faith is getting weaker, and the day is getting near
A Gdim7
When a world that grew up smiling, will leave us with a tear
G#m7 C#m7 A E E F#m7 G#m7 A
The time fo-or love, is here
[Verse 3]
E A
When life was just a simple thing, like apples on a tree
A E
And grass was there to lie upon, and skies were there to see
[Verse 4]
E A
We smiled our smiles together, and we sometimes had to cry
A E
We sipped the wine of friendship, and we raised our glasses high
[Chorus]
G#7 C#m7
And now we sit and wonder, where did it all go wrong
A B
It may be in the singing, we forgot about the song
E G#m7 C#m7 A A7
And time is rushing by us, by the hour by the year
A Gdim7
We cannot wait for miracles, to suddenly appear
[Outro]

The time fo-or love, the time fo-or love
