Jimmy Cliff - Time Will Tell Lyrics
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
When I was just a little boy only six years old
I asked my daddy what big things my future hold
The facts of life you will start to understand
Nobody knows just what tomorrow may bring
So I want to tell you now, and listen while I sing
Father said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
Now I'm a lonely man trying to make life on my own
Ever since the day I was born, I never have a happy home
The day I was born in that broken down little town
I'm wondering now just what my gain will be
'Cause it seems to me, happiness I'll never see
Mama said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
What he say now,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
Time keeps on changing like the weather and the seasons
For every mistake, Mama said, there must be a reason
After a storm, there's got to be a calm
So I think I'll wait a while and try to wear a smile (Wear a smile)
Mama said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
What he say now,
Time will tell - I know, I know!
Time will tell - said I know
Time alone will tell
One more time now
Time will tell - I believe
Time will tell - oh yes, I do!
Time alone will tell - I believe that...

OH GOD! Such sweet memories...............................! Thank Jimmy Cliff for ALL your songs! Thanks for sharing!
Time is now telling me. This song remainds me my sister and my late brother Martin.
Felix Chisanga I was a great deal
Excellent and nostalgic. The lyrics are the very rythm and soul of ordinary people waiting for the tide to come in their way, and then stirred by the songs to seize the day. A chance to be better. Nabie Yayah Swaray. Playwright from Sierra Leone.
Its true time. Will. Trel
Is sweet to remember ones teen.
Is sweet to remember ones teen.
My uncle in my mind. He taught me the song
I just ran into the version done by Millie small....i think hers was the original but nobody can dispute Jimmy's uniqueness here like in all his songs
I just love his flavour of reggae. it's so relaxing and inspirational especially wonderful world.beautiful people.

My oh My!!! Great song. My dad (RIP) used to have the 45rpm of the song on side B with 'Suffering in the Land' on side A. Used to play it a lot. Brings back memories of the early 70's. Thanks for the posting. God bless!
