Lyrics

Wonderful World

What a wonderful world this is
What a wonderful world this is
It makes me want to kiss

What a beautiful kiss this is
What a beautiful kiss of life
Just before I die

I've been spending time
I've been losing time

Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time can help you find the ground
And knock you off your feet

All those minutes get lost in time
One step forward, two steps behind
So, before I think myself too deep:
What a wonderful world this is

What a wonderful world this is
What a delicate tale of bliss
That I don't want to miss

In this moment where we all exist
On the precipice of the abyss
It always was, how it is

(Spending)
I've been spending time
(Wasting)
I've been wasting time

Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time can help you find the ground
And knock you off your feet

All those minutes get lost in time
One step forward, two steps behind
So, before I think myself too deep:
What a wonderful world this is

(No time)
Am I losing my mind?
(No time)
Am I losing my mind?

There's no time for us
No time for us
Until we're out of time

(We're running out of time)
There's no time for us, no time
What a wonderful world this is

There's no time for us, no time
(We're running out of time, ah)

Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
