(George): Yours was in my wallet, I showed to all my friends
(Georgette): But the world rolled in between us, keeping us apart
(Georgette): Thank God we discovered we're still joined at the heart
Chorus:
(Both): You and me and time
(Both): Finally got together
(Both): I'm sorry that it took so long
(Both): But better late than never
(Both): The love we thought we'd lost
(Both): Was not that hard to find
(Both): It only took the three of us
(Both): You and me and time
(Georgette): I lost you to the spotlight, but kept you in my prayers
(George): No matter where they took me, hon you were always there
(Georgette): It's so hard when your hero is a stranger in your home
(Both): Our love's like a mountain, one can't move it alone
Chorus:
(Both): But you and me and time
(Both): Finally got together
(Both): I'm sorry that it took so long
(Both): But better late than never
(Both): The love we thought we'd lost
(Both): Was not that hard to find
(Both): It only took the three of us
(Both): You and me and time
(Georgette): We can't light the candles on the birthday's that we missed
(Georgette): But we can hold each other and thank the Lord for this
(Georgette): Daddy you and me and time
(Both): Finally got together
(Both): I'm sorry that it took so long
