[Verse 1 – intimate female vocal] You met me where the river bends, The place we used to go as friends. You smiled and asked how life had been. I didn't know where to begin.
[Pre-Chorus – gently building] You took my hand the way you used to do. I stopped pretending I was over you.
[Chorus – warm, open and emotional] There's still time for us, If you feel the way I do. Tell me who you are today, And I'll tell you what I've been through. There's still time for us. I still want that time with you.
[Instrumental Interlude – piano and rising strings]
[Verse 2] You told me things I'd never known, About the years you'd spent alone. I found the courage, sitting there, To tell you how much I still care.
[Chorus – fuller strings, gentle drums] There's still time for us, If you feel the way I do. Tell me who you are today, And I'll tell you what I've been through. There's still time for us. I still want that time with you.
[Bridge – quiet piano, tender female vocal] I asked, “Could we come back here next Sunday?” You smiled and said, “I thought you'd never ask.”
[Final Chorus – expressive, soft female harmonies] There's still time for us, Now I know you feel it too. Tell me who you are today, And I'll tell you what I've been through. There's still time for us. I still want that time with you.
[Outro – softly] I still want that time with you.
[Instrumental Outro – gentle piano and strings fading]
