The Day and the Time Lyrics
Who's to say that we always have to agree
I think we can both can take this one mistake
Like some kind of amnesty
Why to love and with such brutality?
We're compatible
Maybe a bit too much
That's our ambiguity
I've cried a thousand storms
I've blown away the clouds
The heartbeat of the sun is racing mine
I'm reaching out
My heart is waiting
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
How shadows have turned to light
Well, we know
How ephemeral are things
Disillusion takes what illusion gives
What's the use of make believe?
The needles of the clock
Are moving right to left
Pretend we never heard of things we said
Like we've been deaf
And start all over
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
How shadows have turned to light
Ah...
The heartbeat of the sun is racing mine
I'm missing out
Ah...
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
How shadows have turned to light
Ahhh...
The time
Ahhh...
Oooh...
Ahhh...
I think we can both can take this one mistake
Like some kind of amnesty
We're compatible
Maybe a bit too much
That's our ambiguity
I've blown away the clouds
The heartbeat of the sun is racing mine
I'm reaching out
My heart is waiting
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
How shadows have turned to light
How ephemeral are things
Disillusion takes what illusion gives
What's the use of make believe?
Are moving right to left
Pretend we never heard of things we said
Like we've been deaf
And start all over
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
How shadows have turned to light
I'm missing out
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
How shadows have turned to light
Oooh...

Well, this song in Spanish wasn't one of her best... or even one of her good ones... and in English it just sounds wrong... the words don't fit the musicality... eh... I still think she's great.

...I think this song is about being in a long term relationship and having ups and downs, and being on the verge...
...I think this song is about being in a long term relationship and having ups and downs, and being on the verge of calling it quits even. but they are compatable and must stick together. They must start anew, fresh, and with a clean slate, and if they can do that, they can move forward in their relationship and rekindle what was lost. She wants them to start now, hoping that today, right now, they can start over and forget about the past, and move on, because they were meant to be.
I think its a very intelligent way of saying something very simple, lets start over.

...And its also about how life is short, thats what "ephemeral" means, and when she says "the heartbeat of the sun is racing mine" its like, if your heart was in a race with the sun, who would outlast the other? obviously the sun because again, life is too short, it doesnt go on forever. so why stay in a pickle? Its time to move on. thats all
