Plenty Of Time

Dear Aunt Alice, why should I marry him?
My heart's young, I keep free!
O, Aunt Alice, there's always time enough
Then she smiles, and took my hand
And she said to me

When I was just a young thing, I can recall
I dreamt of seeing Paris in Fall
And London in the Springtime, oh I'd see it all
I'd see it all some day!

For I had plenty of time, plenty of time
Why should I worry?
Yes, I had plenty of time, plenty of time
What was the hurry?

When I was still a young thing
Oh, love was for fun
Kisses and laughter
Then it was done!
Yes, when the game was over
Swiftly I'd run
Oh, how I'd run away!

For I had plenty of time, plenty of time
Why should I worry?
Yes, I had plenty of time, plenty of time
What was the hurry?

But a world that's right can soon go wrong
And I guess I waited much too long!
For I've never been to Paris or to London im the Spring
And that love I intended to choose
The years just refused to bring!

And now it suddenly seems
That I've run out of dreams
I can hold on to!
Once I had plenty of time, oh plenty of time
Where has it gone to?

Dear Aunt Alice, I think I'll marry him
All too soon it's all too late!
Yes Aunt Alice, there's never time enough
Let me hold my love today
And let tomorrow wait!
