Where All The Time Has Gone (Music by D. Wylie/H. Gregg/J. Cooper, Lyrics by D.
Wylie)
I have waited like an orphan for someone to take me home
I have waited for the day when they’d all finally leave me alone
I have waited for the promised land my eyes to look upon
And then I wondered where all the time had gone
I have waited, a spectator, for the real show to begin
I have waited like a dog at the window for my ship to come in
I have waited so patiently and so lovingly and so long
And then I wondered where all the time had gone
Where it’s gone, oh where’s it gone?
I’m suspecting that I had it all along
Oh where’s it gone?
Oh I must’ve done something wrong
‘Cause I’m here wondering where all the time has gone
I have waited for my line, thinking I’m-a nail it this time
But like clockwork by and by, oh the punchline passed me by
So I waited a little longer and then I heard a little song
It sang “I wonder where all the time has gone.”
Where it’s gone, oh where’s it gone?
I’m suspecting that I had it all along
Oh where’s it gone?
Oh I must’ve done something wrong
‘Cause I’m here wondering where all the time has gone
At the centre of the waiting is a song so sweet
Where I meet my greatest triumph by admitting defeat
Time, all this time, was working in my all along
And there I was, in the place where all the time had gone
Where it’s gone, oh where’s it gone?
I’m suspecting that I had it all along
Oh where’s it gone?
Oh I must’ve done something wrong
‘Cause I’m here wondering where all the time has gone
