I'd like to take a minute to apologize   For not taking advantage of you   Through all the years you've passed me by   Honestly, I really wanted to be mad at you, yes      For so many hours waiting, yeah   I finally know what it means to be patient, yeah   And everything has its place, yeah   And reason and I've learned that      Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time   (For it to happen)   Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time   ('Cause it will happen)   Time waits for nothing and no one   'Cause everything has its time      I used to think that if I tried   Then maybe I could change the things that I regretted in my past life   But through all the lessons that you taught me   I have learned my experiences enhanced my character, yes      Now as I look back with what I know now   I can say that I wouldn't change a thing   'Cause I love who I became, yeah and when it's all said and done   I can only live for today 'cause I've learned that      Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time   (For it to happen)   Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time   (Things are gonna happen)   Time waits for nothing and no one   'Cause everything has its time      I used to find it hard to believe   And almost impossible to conceive, yeah   Everything I do revolves around you   And knowing that, it's kind crazy to me      Now if I had a dollar for every moment   That I spent watching my days go by   Doing, doing, doing nothing   I probably never be penniless or hopeless      So for a while now, I've kept in mind   'Cause what they say is true   That you are of the essence down to the very last second   And I'm so glad that I've grown to respect you      Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time   ('Cause things are gonna happen)   Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time   ('Cause things are gonna happen)      Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time   Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time      Time waits for nothing   And everything is gonna take its time   Time waits for nothing
