  • If I had the time
    I would run away with you
    To a perfect world
    We'd suspend all that is duty or required.

    Late last night you cried
    And I couldn't come to you
    But on the other side
    You and I, inseparable and walking.

    Yeah, oh woe.

    If we could steal away
    Like jugglers and thieves
    But we could come and go
    Oh, and talk of Michaelangelo.

    Oh woe.

    If we had the time (we had the time)
    We had the time.

    The day you looked at me
    And it was on your mind
    The world is no one's dream
    We will never ever find the time.

    Oh woe.

    If we had the time
    I would run away with you
    To a perfect world
    (To a perfect world).
