Time Is a Healer - Lydia Cole

I found a picture of your smiling face Bringing old memories that I had locked away The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain Was finally lifted And I smiled at you again Oh if time is a healer And all hearts that break Then all hearts that break Are put back together again 'Cause love heals the wound it makes I spoke such harsh words before our goodbye Well I wanted to hurt you For the tears you made you made me cry All my hopes and dreams Well, they started vanishing Those tender hurt feelings Became a dangerous thing Oh if time is a healer If time is a healer And all hearts that break Then all hearts that break Are put back together again 'Cause love heals the wound it makes (makes) All of those years we spent together (spent together) Well they're part of my life forever I hold the joy with the pain And the truth is I miss you my friend Well time is a healer And all hearts that break All hearts all hearts that break Are put back together again 'Cause love heals the wound it makes

Just one look in your eyes I can see you're crying It hurts so deep inside But now your tears are drying After all it's said and done Believe me you are through Bad times passed away and I know God is looking after you Chorus: Is it just the way you love me Is it just the way you hurt me Just believe in Time is a healer (2 x) Moment by moment Time is passing by Losing your fear I can see it fly Darkest sky You can see the rain Falling down To wash away your pain Bad times passed away and I know God is looking after you Chorus:

I spent a long time Watering a plant made out of plastic And I curse the ground for growing green I spent a long time Substituting honest with sarcastic And I curse my tongue for being mean Weightless, breathless restitute Motionless and absolute He cut me open Sucked the poison from an aging wound Now fifty thousand war cadets Would cower at this small brunette To my surprise, not six feet high Would reach and grab the moon if I should ask Or just imply that I wanted a bit more light So I could look inside his eyes And get the colors just right Just right, just right Just But love built, God built provinces Build calluses, break promises 'Cause I could never hold a perfect thing And not demolish it What am I thinking? What does this mean? How could somebody ever love me? Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news comin'

If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not a crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin' Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin Only if she was lyin' by me Then Id lie in my bed once again I can't see my reflection in the waters I can't speak the sounds that show no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps Or can't remember the sound of my own name Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin' Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin Only if she was lyin' by me Then Id lie in my bed once again There's beauty in the silver, singin' river There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty That I remember in my true loves eyes Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin' Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin Only if she was lyin' by me Then Id lie in my bed once again

So now it all comes down to poison To lie awake and wonder "Will this be a fair ending"? I want to go to the ocean I can wait for nobody Time is a dark Time is a dark Time is a dark Time is a dark feeling So now it all comes back to water Look through to see somebody You knew and now you don't I could have the reasons why These are days like the deepest caves You would never dare to descend into Truthfully, silence never did it for me Oak tree, remember me Thankfully there's a golden portrait of ivy every morning that I see Time is a dark Time is a dark Time is a dark Time is a dark feeling

I think it's gonna be a hell of a night, hmm A hell of a night So we could do whatever you like, hey Hey It took me all day to find some inspiration It just hit me like a ton of bricks, no renovation Problem with the game now, there ain't no innovation I see my shit all in your shit, we call that imitation And they say that's flattering, but I ain't flattered at all Matter fact y'all need to practice that more See my man Nate asked me if I gained weight I said, "Nah, my pockets got fatter, that's all" Money was an issue, but now that that's solved I ball, I ball, like Kobe in the fall Put trophies on wall, rather trophies on my mantle Dog my shows be off the handle, take the proceeds go to gamble Ha!
