There Has Been A Time

On a day like today when my eyes look far away
And when all you say is wrong
I just need a place to hide away and face
Those feelings comin' on so strong
Let me be alone, let me be alone
And don't you try to understand
Let me have the pain, let me have the pain
Let me have it, it might help me to decide
How to tell you somethin' I can no longer hide

There has been a time, there has been a time
Now I call it good old yesterday
There has been a time, there has been a time
I found all around me black or white in a way
Nothing in between, black was black as night as far as I know
Nothing in between, white was even whiter than the wintersnow

Have a look inside my mind only doubts are there to find now
No more yes' or no's like then
I knew it all so well, 'bout love and God and hell, you know
I felt like a grown-up man
Now I see the rain, now I see the rain
Through the shining of the sun
Now I feel the pain, now I feel the pain
Now I feel the pain of losin' what I had
The love for you has gone, my love for you is dead

There has been a time, there has been a time
Now I call it good old yesterday
There has been a time, there has been a time
Now I call it good old yesterday
There has been a time, there has been a time
I found all around me black or white in a way ....
