Don Williams - We Should Only Have Time For Love lyrics

Today we laid old man Pate to rest His big hands folded across his chest God rest his soul, just two days ago He was in his yard wavin' to me As I stood by his grave The impression was strong One minute we're here And the next we're gone And with each breath of life That is given to us We should only have time for love So tell me what can be gained By fussing and fighting The answer is left up to us I think it's time we learned, Enough is enough Oh, we should only have time for love Sometimes I'm unwilling to open my eyes Just too stubborn to compromise When you stand your ground Oh, there's no backin' down That makes for a long, bitter fight And you know it's such a waste To engage in that Tearing each other down In a tit for tat When we could be hard at work, Building a trust Oh, we should only have time for love So tell me what can be gained By fussing and fighting The answer is left up to us I think it's time we learned, Enough is enough Oh, we should only have time for love Well, isn't it time we learned, Enough is enough Oh, we should only have time for love...
