Only Time Will Tell Lyrics
I just needed someone
Somebody to hold
When the bottle was empty
And the nights grew cold
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
You were my angel of mercy
And helped me to believe
You touched my soul when I was lonely
You held me up when I couldn't fly
There's no words could explain
How I feel inside
And this I tell you
In a world full of anger
In times gone strange
You held me close
You held me close to you
Lay my head on your shoulder
I finally let it all out
It felt good for a moment
Not livin' in a shadow of doubt
But everybody needs a little something
To pull them through
I gave up one for the other
And God knows that the other was you
Now only time will tell <i>(Only time will tell)</i>
If our love is scratched in sand
Or if it's etched in stone
Only time will tell <i>(Only time will tell)</i>
If our love will stand
Or walk the road alone
My angel of mercy
You pulled me through somehow
I just hope you know...I need you now.
You're the one that touched my very soul
The one who held on tight
God knows you've never let go
Now only time will tell <i>(Only time will tell)</i>
If our love is scratched in sand
Or if it's etched in stone
Only time will tell <i>(Only time will tell)</i>
If our love will stand
Or walk the road alone
Only time will...only time will...only time will tell
Can you teach my soul to fly?
Can you set me free, angel of mercy?
It's time we closed the door
Turned out the light
And burned the fire
Burned the fire inside
My angel of mercy
You pulled me through
And this I tell you
Lord knows I pity you
Somebody to hold
When the bottle was empty
And the nights grew cold
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
You were my angel of mercy
And helped me to believe
You held me up when I couldn't fly
There's no words could explain
How I feel inside
And this I tell you
In times gone strange
You held me close
You held me close to you
Lay my head on your shoulder
I finally let it all out
It felt good for a moment
Not livin' in a shadow of doubt
To pull them through
I gave up one for the other
And God knows that the other was you
If our love is scratched in sand
Or if it's etched in stone
Only time will tell <i>(Only time will tell)</i>
If our love will stand
Or walk the road alone
You pulled me through somehow
I just hope you know...I need you now.
The one who held on tight
God knows you've never let go
If our love is scratched in sand
Or if it's etched in stone
Only time will tell <i>(Only time will tell)</i>
If our love will stand
Or walk the road alone
Can you teach my soul to fly?
Can you set me free, angel of mercy?
Turned out the light
And burned the fire
Burned the fire inside
My angel of mercy
You pulled me through
And this I tell you
Lord knows I pity you

Good ol fashioned love song, about needing somebody when you're down and out, or having someone stick by you through the hard times.
Its hard to tell because of the songs fade out, but I'm pretty sure that last line is just "Lord knows I'm tellin you." What you have here "Lord knows I pity you" makes NO sense in the context of the rest of the song.
