Until It's Time for You to Go
Timeless Love's Farewell: Shirley Bassey's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
You're not a dream
You are not a mere fantasy or illusion
You're not an angel
You are not a celestial being
You're a woman
You are a human being, specifically a woman
I'm not a king,
I am not royalty
I'm a man,
I am an ordinary man
Take my hand
Accept my companionship
We'll make a space
We will create a shared place
In the lives that we planned
In the future we envisioned together
And here we'll stay
We will remain together
Until it's time for you to go
Until the moment comes for you to leave
Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart
Despite our differences, we are worlds apart
We're not the same
We are not identical
We laughed and played
We shared joy and played together initially
At the start like in a game
Similar to a game
You could have stayed
You had the option to remain outside my emotions
Outside my heart
Yet, you entered
But in you came
And now you will stay
And here you'll stay
Until the designated time for your departure
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why,
Do not question why
Don't ask how
Do not question how
Don't ask forever,
Do not inquire about eternity
Love me now
Love me at this moment
This love of mine
This love has no clear starting point
Had no beginning
It also lacks a defined end
It has no end
My nature has transformed from strong to flexible
I was an oak,
Once unyielding, now adaptable
Now I'm a willow
Now I can bend and adjust
Now I can bend
Although I may never encounter you again in my life
And tho' I'll never
I continue to endure
In my life see you again
Until the predestined moment for your departure
I still stay
Until it's time for you to go
