This Could Be The Time

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
