Time Changed Everything
Roy Orbison · Other Songs - Roy Orbison
My friends don't know my name
Lots of things have changed
Things seem so wrong
Since I've come home
It's been a year or so
Since I had to go
I wonder if she's waiting
Or has she betrayed
the promise she made
Now as I'm walking to her
My doubts are too much to bear
Was she faithful or untrue?
If I've lost her, what will I do
Now, we're face to face
As her eyes meet mine
The answer I find is
Time Changed Everything
Time Changed Everything
Time Changed Everything
But her
Time Changed Everything
