Lyrics
You were just a picture on my baby grand
Yours was in my wallet, I showed to all my friends
But the world rolled in between us, keeping us apart
Thank God we discovered we’re still joined at the heart
But you and me and time
Finally got together
I’m sorry that it took so long
But better late than never
The love we thought we’d lost
Was not that hard to find
It only took the three of us
You and me and time
I lost you to the spotlight, but kept you in my prayers
No matter where they took me, hon you were always there
It’s so hard when your hero is a stranger in your home
Our love’s like a mountain, one can’t move it alone
We can’t light the candles on the birthday’s that we missed
But we can hold each other and thank the Lord for this
Daddy you and me and time
Finally got together
I’m sorry that it took so long
But better late than never
The love we thought we lost
Was not that hard to find
It only took the three of us
You and me and time
It only took the three of us
You and me and time
I love you darlin’
