Orondé - Only Time Lyrics

There was a girl
For a fortnight, she was my world
And it was magical
On the shore
Walking hand in hand, wanting more
But it wasn't love
Even though it seemed close enough
In reality
She had to go
She was a summer breeze and I know
I couldn't take her with me
And just like that
She was gone
Like a bird in the wind
She flew into the dawn
I'll never forget her
As long as I live
But I had to let her
Spread her wings and fly
Time will tell if she is mine
To keep
I want it all
But summer love, they say
Never lasts one day
Into fall
But I didn't care
It was my one shot to take it there
You know what I mean
She was a beauty with intellect
As close to perfect as one could get
It was just bad timing
And just like that
I blinked and she was gone
Like a bird in the wind
She flew into the dawn
I knew when I met her
She was one of a kind
But I had to let her
Spread her wings and fly free
Only time will tell if she
Is mine
We fell in love so fast
But summer love doesn't last
'Cause she lives in Tennessee and I'm in LA
The distance is our enemy, but someday
Maybe we'll meet again, probably not
'Cause everything isn't meant to be
Maybe she isn't meant for me
(In the blink of an eye)
I'll never forget her as long as I live
(She had to leave)
But I had to let her
Spread her wings and fly free
Only time will tell
(Only time)
