We Don't Have That Much Time Together Lyrics by D'arby Terence Trent

We Don't Have That Much Time Together

Alone in a car driving me far to get to you today
The wind at my wings whispering things for me to say
The moon is in view when I get to you
These tender moments are a precious few
'Cause we don't have that much time together
'Cause we don't have that much time together
The smell of your skin and I begin
To kneel and to pray to you
Your sensual caress makes me confess my love for you
As we're making love we can't get enough
The clock is never kind when we unwind
'Cause we don't have that much time together
'Cause we don't have that much time together
Heaven is only halt the distance
Between your soul and mine
Blood is thicker than water yes
But love is thicker than blood
You bring me provisions of perfect peace
Your sugar stained tongue is sweet
So Heaven is only half the distance
Between your soul and mine
Because of your sighs the hours fly
As though they're filled with air
Yet here we are ascending the stars as lovers dare
The rising sun is ending our fun
We'll leave to future promise what's left undone
'Cause we don't have that much time together
'Cause we don't have that much time together
You bring me provisions of perfect peace
Your sugar stained tongue is sweet
So Heaven is only half the distance
Between your soul and mine
The eye of the storm where it is warm peaceful and serene
Your spiral of tears as morning papers
The bitter sweet aroma of ecstasy
'Cause we don't have that much time together
'Cause we don't have that much time together
