Time After Time
Timeless Love: Revel in the Heartfelt Symphony of Emotion by The Temptations
Lyrics
What good are words I say to you?
Questioning the value of words spoken to the listener
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
Expressing the limitation of words in conveying true feelings
If you could hear instead
Suggesting an alternative way of understanding through hearing
The things I've left unsaid
Referring to unspoken emotions or thoughts
Time after time
Beginning a reflection on a recurring theme or situation
I tell myself that I'm
Affirming self-talk about feeling fortunate
So lucky to be loving you
Expressing gratitude for the luck of loving the listener
So lucky to be
Repeating the sentiment of being fortunate in love
The one you run to see
Highlighting the speaker as the preferred one to run to
In the evening, when the day is through
Setting the scene of evening, a time of togetherness
I only know what I know
Acknowledging limited knowledge and understanding
The passing years will show
Expecting that time will reveal the depth of love
You've kept my love so young, so new
Commending the listener for keeping love youthful
And time after time
Reiterating the theme of expressing luck in love
You'll hear me say that I'm
Reaffirming the speaker's gratefulness for love
So lucky to be loving you
Repeating the sentiment of being fortunate in love
I only know what I know
Reemphasizing limited knowledge and understanding
The passing years will show
Reiterating the expectation of love deepening over time
You've kept my love so young, so new
Commending the listener for keeping love youthful
And time after time
Continuing the reflection on the recurring theme
You'll hear me say that I'm
Affirming self-talk about feeling fortunate
So lucky to be loving you
Expressing gratitude for the luck of loving the listener
Lucky to be loving you
Repeating the sentiment of being fortunate in love
