Analysis of We've got time
As I look into your eyes tonight
I see all of eternity, I see all tomorrow's yesterdays falling right in line
From beginning to end all of our stories come to light
With one simple message, baby we've got time
Through the years we've spent apart and together
There's always been that bond between your heart and mine
We've had rough patches, but the ties that bind were never severed
Our hearts are still beating, so we still have time
We still have time to mend things between us
We still have time to save the love we share
We still have time to build a new bridge of love and trust
We still have time to show each other we still care
I can see it in your eyes, I can tell with just a glance
I don't need to ask how you feel, there's no need to define
Before the words can leave your lips, I feel them in advance
There's distance between us now, but we've still got time
We've got time to right our wrongs
We've got time to change the past
We've got time to get back where we both belong
We've got time to bridge the gap between us and make a love that's going to last
