Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'd like to take a minute to apologize
For not taking advantage of you
Through all the years you've passed me by
Honestly I really wanted to be mad at you, yes
For so many hours waiting, yeah
I finally know what it means to be patient
And everything has its place, yeah
And reason and I've learned that
[Chorus]
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing and no one
Cause everything has its time
[Verse 2]
I used to think that if I tried
Then maybe I could change the things that
I regretted in my past life
But through all the lessons that you taught me
I have learned my experiences enhanced my character, yes
Now as I look back with what I know now
I can say that I wouldn't change a thing
Cause I love who I became, yeah
And when it's all said and done
I can only live for today
Cause I've learned that
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I used to find it hard to believe
And almost impossible to conceive, yeah
Everything I do revolves around you
And knowing that, its kind crazy to me
Now if I had a dollar for every moment
That I spent watching my days go by
Doing, doing, doing nothing
I probably never be penniless or hopeless.
[Verse 3]
So for a while now, I've kept in mind
Cause what they say is true
That you are of the essence
Down to the very last second
And I'm so glad that I've grown to
Respect you
[Chorus 4x]
I'd like to take a minute to apologize
For not taking advantage of you
Through all the years you've passed me by
Honestly I really wanted to be mad at you, yes
For so many hours waiting, yeah
I finally know what it means to be patient
And everything has its place, yeah
And reason and I've learned that
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing and no one
Cause everything has its time
I used to think that if I tried
Then maybe I could change the things that
I regretted in my past life
But through all the lessons that you taught me
I have learned my experiences enhanced my character, yes
Now as I look back with what I know now
I can say that I wouldn't change a thing
Cause I love who I became, yeah
And when it's all said and done
I can only live for today
Cause I've learned that
I used to find it hard to believe
And almost impossible to conceive, yeah
Everything I do revolves around you
And knowing that, its kind crazy to me
Now if I had a dollar for every moment
That I spent watching my days go by
Doing, doing, doing nothing
I probably never be penniless or hopeless.
So for a while now, I've kept in mind
Cause what they say is true
That you are of the essence
Down to the very last second
And I'm so glad that I've grown to
Respect you

Although this could obviously be viewed as a love song, I think this could also be seen as a song about respecting time as a teacher.
I think he is, in effect, singing to "Time"... he starts out by apologizing for not taking advantage Time, and continues on in a fashion that sort of implies that he is speaking to Time.... and throughout the trials and tribulations of his life, he has come to respect time, and understands that all things have happened for a reason that only time will tell... I love it...
