ALWAYS look again.
I have old book pages...I'm taping this to my mirror. :-/; 8/2/14 00:15

I told you so

time will say nothing but
I told you so,
time only knows the price
we have to pay;
if I could tell you
I would let you know

if we should weep when
clowns put on their show,
if we should stumble
when musicians play,
time will say nothing but
I told you so

there are no fortunes
to be told, although,
because I love you
more than I can say,
if I could tell you
I would let you know

the winds must come from
somewhere when they blow,
there must be reasons
why the leaves decay;
time will say nothing but
I told you so

perhaps the roses
really want to grow,
the vision seriously
intends to stay;
if I could tell you
I would let you know

suppose all the lions
get up and go,
and all the brooks
and soldiers run away;
will time say nothing but
I told you so?

if I could tell you
I would let you know
