| The time has come for me to tell you | 
| All the things I really feel about you | 
| 'Cause lately time’s been moving on | 
| And every day we seem to grow a little older, too | 
| The more I think of you the less I seem | 
| To know the way I feel about you | 
| And all I think is all I know | 
| And all I know is all I want to think about is you | 
| I used to think I knew it all | 
| And that the love you gave was mine for keeping | 
| I guess I cared too much for you back then | 
| To see the simple magic of it all | 
| I long to see the things we saw | 
| When we were young and could not see so clearly | 
| When all the world was just a blur of coloured lines | 
| That I’d trace most sincerely back to you | 
| And you’d say | 
| «Time to rest your weary head | 
| Take your wings and go to bed | 
| I know you want to know it all, my darling» | 
| And I’d say | 
| «Set me down and rock me | 
| Rock me to sleep» | 
| I see the sparkle in your eyes | 
| You say I’m beautiful and I believe you | 
| And I will never feel more beautiful | 
| Than when I’m wide awake beside you | 
| I’ll wander far and wide and wonder | 
| How it feels to fall in love with someone | 
| Without the need to show her everything I’ve learnt | 
| About the world since you’ve been gone | 
| And you’d say | 
| «Time to rest your weary head | 
| Take your wings and go to bed | 
| I know you want to show it all, my darling» | 
| And I’d say | 
| «Set me down and rock me | 
| Rock me to sleep» | 
| There was a time it seemed the time itself | 
| Was free and would go on forever | 
| Wanted to cling to it but now I see | 
| Its fading is its greatest treasure, ooh | 
| And you would say | 
| «Time to rest my weary head | 
| Take my wings and go to bed | 
| I know you want to feel it all, my darling» | 
| And I’d say | 
| «Sit me down and rock me, oh | 
| Sit me down and rock me, oh darling | 
| Sit me down and rock me | 
| Rock me to sleep» |
