If Time Is All I Have Lyrics
When you wake up
Turn your radio on
And you'll hear this simple songs
That I made up
That I made up for you
When you're driving
Turn your radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
All these days
To get my message through
If time is all I had
I'd waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
When you marry and you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up that it isn't me
When we're older and the memories fade
I know I'll still feel the same, yeah
For as long as I live
And if time is all I had
I'd waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Won't you say my name one time
Please, just say my name
And if time is all I had
I'd waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
If time is all I had
I'd waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Won't you say my name
When the song is over?
Turn your radio on
And you'll hear this simple songs
That I made up for you
Turn your radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
All these days
To get my message through
I'd waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up that it isn't me
When we're older and the memories fade
I know I'll still feel the same, yeah
For as long as I live
I'd waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Please, just say my name
I'd waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
I'd waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

This is an amazing song sung by a genius.
Just a couple of corrections: "And you'll hear this simple songs" should be "And you'll hear this simple song" "All these days" should be "Hard these days" And I believe "If time is all I had" should be "If time is all I HAVE" and "I'd waste it all on you" should "I'll waste it all on you"
The meaning is pretty obvious, but the song is so touching and emotional. His live performances of this song are almost too hard to watch because he gets choked up singing. :(
