Don Williams - We Should Only Have Time For Love Lyrics
(Wayland Patton, Jim Rushing)Today we laid old man Pate to restHis big hands folded across his chestGod rest his soul, just two days agoHe was in his yard wavin' to meAs I stood by his graveThe impression was strongOne minute we're hereAnd the next we're goneAnd with each breath of lifeThat is given to usWe should only have time for loveSo tell me what can be gainedBy fussing and fightingThe answer is left up to usI think it's time we learned,Enough is enoughOh, we should only have time for loveSometimes I'm unwilling to open my eyesJust too stubborn to compromiseWhen you stand your groundOh, there's no backin' downThat makes for a long, bitter fightAnd you know it's such a wasteTo engage in thatTearing each other downIn a*****for tatWhen we could be hard at work,Building a trustOh, we should only have time for loveSo tell me what can be gainedBy fussing and fightingThe answer is left up to usI think it's time we learned,Enough is enoughOh, we should only have time for loveWell, isn't it time we learned,Enough is enoughOh, we should only have time for love...
