We Should Only Have Time For Love - Don Williams

Today we laid old man pate to rest

His big hands folded across his chest

God rest his soul just two days ago

He was in his yard wavin' to me

As I stood by his grave the impression was strong

One minute we're here and the next we're gone

And with each breath of life that is given to us

We should only have time for love

So tell me what can be gained by fussing and fighting

The answer is left up to us

I think it's time we learned enough is enough

Oh we should only have time for love

Sometimes l'm unwilling to open my eyes

Just too stubborn to compromise

When you stand your ground

Oh there's no backin' down

That makes for a long bitter fight

And you know it's such a waste to engage in that

Tearing each other down in a tit for tat

When we could be hard at work building a trust

Oh we should only have time for love

So tell me what can be gained by fussing and fighting

The answer is left up to us

I think it's time we learned enough is enough

Oh we should only have time for love

I think it's time we learned enough is enough

Oh we should only have time for love
