Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Time after time
  • If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
  • Time after time
  • If you're lost, you can look and you will find me

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Time after time
  • You said, "go slow"
  • I fall behind
  • The second hand unwinds
timeyou'refall
