Artist/Band: Etta James
Lyrics for Song: Only Time Will Tell
Lyrics for Album: Heart & Soul / A Retrospective [2011]



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 living in a shadow of doubt

But everybody needs a little something

To pull them through

I gave one for the other

And God knows that the other was you



Now only time will tell

Only time will tell

If our love is scratched in sand

Or if it's etched in stone



Only time will tell

Only time will tell

If our love will stand

Or walk the road alone



My angel of mercy

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 never let go



Now only time will tell

Only time will tell

If our love is scratched in sand

Or if it's etched in stone



Only time will tell

Only time will tell

If our love will stand

Or walk the road alone



Only time will

Only time will

(Can you bring my hands to yours)

Only time will tell

(Can you teach my soul to fly)

Only time will

Only time will

(Can you save me)

Only time will tell



Angel of mercy

It's time we closed the door

Put out the lights

And burn the fire

Burn the fire inside



Angel of mercy

You pulled me through

And this I tell to you

Lord know I'd tell it to you
