Time to Grow...1978

If I should happen to go away
Would I find you on another day?]
]
Could you understand
That I need time to grow?
Need I say that I love you?
Would you already know?

If you should happen to go away
Would I find you on another day?
Could I look over the ocean
And think of you?
Would you be thinking
Of me too?

If I should die,
Would you always see,
In all that glistens,
A bit of me?

Could you read my words
And know they're for you?
Would you see the sorrow
And the love in them too?

If you should die
I would always see
A bit of you
In all that's free.

I could think of you
And I would know
That we both needed
Time to grow...
