Only Time

The lyrics reflect on how little people can predict about life and love. The repeated answer, “only time,” suggests that some questions cannot be settled in the present. The mood moves between uncertainty, tenderness, and sadness, but it does not end in despair: it leaves room for love to grow and for paths to meet.

The road is an image of life’s direction, while the day flowing and sleeping suggests time passing through different stages. A heart that “sighs” or “cries” expresses emotional pain without explaining its cause. “Your love flies” may suggest love slipping away, changing, or becoming hard to hold onto; the words leave that meaning open.

The song can be heard as accepting that feelings and relationships do not always follow a person’s wishes. “As your heart chose” hints that we may hope love will develop in a certain way, yet its future remains uncertain. The image of night keeping someone’s heart could suggest private feelings that are hidden or carried through darkness. Overall, the lyrics offer no clear promise that love will succeed or fail; they ask listeners to live with not knowing.
