Bb                         F  
Once it seemed there would always be  
 
Dm              C  
A time for everything  
 
Bb               F  
Ages passed I knew at last  
 
Dm               C  
My life had never been  
 
Ebmaj9                  Eb    D7    G  
I'd been missing what time could bring  
 
Bb      G       Bb  
   
 
Verse 2   (same as Verse 1)  
 
Fifty years and filled with tears  
And joys I never cried  
Burn the wagon and chain the mule  
The past is all denied  
There's no time for everything
