UNTIL IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO
Buffy Sainte-Marie
© Gypsy Boy Music-SOCAN

               You're not a dream
               You're not an angel
               You're a man

               I'm not a queen
               I'm a woman
               Take my hand

               We'll make a space
               in the lives
               that we'd planned

               And here we'll stay
               Until it's time 
               for you to go 

               Yes we're different
               Worlds apart
               We're not the same

               We laughed and played
               at the start
               like in a game

               You could've stayed
               outside my heart
               but in you came

               And here you'll stay 
               until it's time
               for you to go

               Don't ask why
               Don't ask how
               Don't ask forever
               Love me now

               This love of mine 
               had no beginning
               It has no end

               I was an oak
               Now I'm a willow
               Now I can bend

               And though I'll never
               in my life
               see you again

               Still I'll stay
               until it's time
               for you to go

               Don't ask why
               Don't ask how
               Don't ask forever
               Love me now

               You're not a dream
               You're not an angel
               You're a man

               I'm not a queen
               I'm a woman
               Take my hand

               We'll make a space
               in the lives
               that we'd planned

               And here we'll stay
               Until it's time 
               for you to go.

NOTES:
               This song popped into my head while I was falling in
               love with someone I knew couldn't stay with me. The
               words are about honesty and freedom inside the heart.
               The following people recorded "Until It's Time For You
               To Go", each in his or her own way, and I sure feel
               honoured: Elvis Presley, Barbara Streisand, Neil
               Diamond, Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops
               Orchestra, Roberta Flack, Bobby Darin, and many
               more. Thanks.
