This Time

It's tough - so tough - gettin' over all the scars
It’s a long hard road - tryin' to resurrect a heart
But you've cleared my walls - broken my defenses down
The stage is set – and the future's now

This time - we're right on time
Baby It's our time
To shine - shine - shine
(Yeh now) this time
We ain’t flyin' blind
I think we both got it right - THIS TIME
This time…

You know love - true love - don't come easy if it all
A lot of dreams get broken - lot of people never fall
But I ain’t cryin' - I ain’t dyin' and hidin' out no more
I've found everything a heart could want and more

This time - we're right on time
Cause baby It's our time
To shine - shine - shine
This time
We ain’t flyin' blind
I think we both got it right - THIS TIME
This time

You've cleared my walls - broken my defenses down
The stage is set - The future's now

This time - we're right on time
Baby it's our time
To shine - shine - shine
This time
We ain’t flyin' blind
I know we both got it right –
Baby, I know that we both got it right
Baby, THIS TIME
This time

It's tough - so tough - gettin' over all the scars
It’s a long hard road - tryin' to resurrect a heart

The longing is evident within, that sweet ache of love. This feels like a Country Song to me, the heart being wrapped around every word. This is so beautifully written and presented. ~ Brandy
