From the musical CANCERMAN
This is a simple song that could apply to all kinds of long-delayed comings-together. It is
sung in the show by a father and estranged daughter reconciling after many years, but I also sang
it at my 60 th high school reunion because it seemed appropriate at the time. There is something
special about barriers dissolving. –J. Linn Allen
THIS COULD BE THE TIME
THE TIME TO KNOW
THE TIME TO FEEL
THE TIME WHEN WHAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN COULD BE REAL
THIS SHOULD BE OUR TIME
THE TIME WE HOLD
THE TIME WE BRING
THE TIME WHEN ALL THE YEARS GONE BY DON’T MEAN A THING
FINALLY OUR HEARTS ARE FREE TO RUN
TO FEEL SOME WARMTH WHERE THERE WAS NONE
SUDDENLY WE SEE A DOOR
WE’VE ALWAYS CHOSEN TO IGNORE
WE SHOUD HAVE THIS TIME
THIS CLICK OF TIME
WHEN WOUNDS ARE HEALED
WHEN ALL THE LOVE SO LONG LOCKED UP BECOMES UNSEALED
NOW THIS IS OUR TIME
THE TIME WE HOLD
THE TIME WE BRING
THE TIME WE START
MAKING UP AT LAST
FOR ALL THE TIME GONE PAST
FOR ALL THE TIME WE KEPT OURSELVES APART
