Etta James - Only Time Will Tell lyrics

I just needed someone, somebody to hold When the bottle was empty And the nights grew cold In my hour of darkness In my time of need You were my angel of mercy And helped me to believe You touched my soul When I was lonely You held me up When I couldn't fly There's no words could explain How I feel inside And this I tell you In a world full of anger In times gone strange You held me close You held me close to you Lay my head on your shoulder I finally let it all out It felt good for a moment Not living in a shadow of doubt But everybody needs a little something To pull them through I gave one for the other And God know that the other was you Now only time will tell Only time will tell If our love is scratched in sand Or if it's etched in stone Only time will tell Only time will tell If our love will stand Or walk the road alone My angel of mercy Pulled me through somehow I just hope you know I need you now You're the one That touched my very soul The one who held on tight God knows you never let go Now only time will tell Only time will tell If our love is scratched in sand Or if it's etched in stone Only time will tell Only time will tell If our love will stand Or walk the road alone Only time will Only time will (Can you bring my hands to yours) Only time will tell (Can you teach my soul to fly) Only time will Only time will (Can you save me) Only time will tell Angel of mercy It's time we closed the door Put out the lights And burn the fire Burn the fire inside Angel of mercy
