Lyrics
THERE WAS A TIME (PD)
PRINCESS DIANA
There was a time, when all I wanted was to hold you and kiss you and never let you go.
There was a time, when all I wanted was to touch you and love you and feel you around me so.
There was this time, not so very long ago, when our love seemed to be right, it seemed to take flight and grow.
Please tell me what happened to that time?
PRINCESS DIANA PRINCE CHARLES
Was it in wintertime Was I ever in love with her?
that we became entwined? I just don't know.
Or was it summertime Or did I marry her
when I first knew you were mine? just for show?
Had the colors of fall Had I given her
broken through half the chance,
when I first gazed at you? Could we have had our romance?
Or had spring begun Could we have danced
when we were one? a different dance?
There was a time Did I ever want her?
when all I needed was to see you, I just don't know.
be with you, I don't think so.
and never leave your side. Please forgive me, Diana.
There was a time Did I ever love her?
when all I needed was to love you, I don't think so.
think of you, I just don't know.
and always be your bride! What kind of man am I?
There was this time I think I tried my best.
not so very long ago I guess I know the rest.
when our love seemed to be right, Please forgive me so,
it seemed to take flight Please forgive me so,
and grow! I just don't know!
Please tell me what happened? What happened?
Tell me why did this happen? Why did this happen?
Tell me
what happened to that time? What happened to that time?
