Analysis of No More Time
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Don’t tell me how,
You spend your money,
I don’t really care.
Just show me how,
You spend your time,
And that you’ve learned to share.
The time is short.
The time is near.
The time has come.
The time is here.
If you’ll make time,
To spend with me,
I’ll take the time!
And set you free!
