If There Were Only Time For Love
Embracing a World of Love: The Oak Ridge Boys' Timeless Message
Lyrics
If all you had to do each day
If daily tasks were simple
Is wake up and go out to play
Engaging in carefree activities
Shake the hand of all the world
Extending friendship globally
Especially every boy and girl
Embracing everyone, irrespective of gender
And if the only tears you shed
Expressing only tears of happiness
Were tears of joy upon your bed
Tears bringing joy and growth to love
That made the sea of your love grow
Love expanding like the sea
To flowers for the world to know
Resulting in beauty visible to the world
And if the world would do the same
Global reciprocity in love
Life could have a brand new name
Potential for a transformative life
The one we've all been dreaming of
A collective dream coming true
If there were only, only time for love
Yearning for a world with time for love
The problems that you're facing now
Current problems fading away
Would vanish into air somehow
Disappearance of troubles miraculously
There'd be no one to bring you harm
Harmony without harm from others
You'd walk together arm in arm
Unity and companionship
And peace would reign across the Earth
Global peace prevailing
And Eve could have her Adams worth
Reference to biblical Adam and Eve
And every man would have a smile
Universal happiness for men
And ladies kisses last a while
Lasting joy from women's kisses
We could take each other's hand
Mutual support and connection
Be the others biggest fan
Encouraging and praising each other
And sing a song about a dove
Celebrating love symbolized by a dove
If there were only, only time for love
Desire for a world with time for love
I think Jesus lived and died
Belief in Jesus' sacrifice for humanity
So we would not be crucified
Preventing humanity from suffering
And all we really have to do
Essence of life is reciprocal love
Is you love me and I love you
Mutual love as the fundamental task
If he should return someday
Pondering Jesus' potential return
Pass your door along his way
Welcoming Jesus with open hearts
Come in and sit down a while
Sharing moments of joy and beauty
And see the beauty in your smile
Appreciating the beauty in a smile
Think how very proud you'd be
Reflecting on the pride of pure love
If love was all there was to see
Emphasizing the significance of love
Just like His Father's house above
Paralleling love with the divine
Where there is only, only time for love
Yearning for a world with time for love
