Time After Time
Composer(s): Jimmie Short - Leon Short
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Time After Time I have said we were through
And Time After Time we have started anew
Time After Time I have trusted in vain
And Time After Time you have cheated again

It’s hard to believe that you don’t care for me
I can remember all you use to be
My heart keeps crying for days that are past
Days that were blissful and too sweet to last

Now Time After Time I have laid wake all night
Hoping and praying someday you’d do right
Time After Time you have shattered my dreams
Till there’s nothing left for me to live for it seems

I’ve always loved you and of course I still do
But no love can stand all the pain I’ve gone through
This is the end dear and forever we part
For my soul has died just as the same as my heart

This time I give up for I’ve loved you in vain
I don’t want you now even if you should change
I wish you luck dear where ever you’d be
And if life seems empty don’t blame it on me

Now Time After Time I have laid wake all night
Hoping and praying someday you’d do right
Time After Time you have shattered my dreams
Till there’s nothing left to live for it seems
