You may ask the moon and the stars and the Lord above
What the future holds for you and your newfound love
It might be in the tealeaves ´n´ written in the sand
Still there´s a thing that you must understand
From Paradise to a broken dream
The step is not as far as it may seem
Our road ahead was lookin´ mighty swell
But here´s a lesson we have learned so well
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
The fortune-teller gazed in to her crystal ball
She saw ???Happiness??? written on the wall
Then in a deck of cards and in the palm of my hand
Bells will be ringin´ I hired a wedding band
From Paradise to a broken dream
The step is not as far as it may seem
Our road ahead was lookin´ mighty swell
But here´s a lesson we have learned so well
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Solo
Well we took what we had and laid it on the line
And here we are miles apart
Though we followed every sign
All your friends say that they envy you for your catch
And even your mother says it´s funny how the two of you match
Well I´m raising a warning finger for the times to come
I have heard this story repeated more than some
From Paradise to a broken dream
The step is not as far as it may seem
Our road ahead was lookin´ mighty swell
But here´s a lesson we have learned so well
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
