There Comes a Time To Leave It All Behind

There comes a time when we 
Find ourselves with all new 
Thought to fill our minds 
This is when you have searched 
Until the sky turns from dark to blue

All of this because I have found you
As I draw you near to make sure 
These feelings are sincere
I can't help thinking of the fear 
There comes a time when we must trust
So we can leave all our past lust behind 

We are better off going into this blind 
So it won't remind us of the love 
That we could not define
All of this because our time is hear 
And nothing has ever felt more clear 

There comes a time when it would appear
Your life is about to change in such a big way 
So we must clear our minds so the fear will disappear 
As our love starts to grow
In such a big way 
That we might both live to love another day

One that will make our life grow 
If we treat it with the attention respect 
That reflects all the things that are you and me 
Then our future is here that much is clear 
I'm so happy that we have emptied our minds 
Of all those loves we could not define 
. 
because like wine
It's only going to get better with time 
We are like that perfect design 
that surrenders your love to mine 

Just how refined our love has turned out to be 
All of this because we cleared our minds 
Of the loves, we left behind 
Now our life can change
 in such a big way 
Because you are all mine
