Stewart, Rod - Time Lyrics

Never studied Rod Stewart's songs, but this is magnificent. Up there with the greatest English songwriter , Clifford T Ward, in that realm away from rock. And from me that is a huge compliment.

After hearing this lovely song, I have decided I want it played at my memorial service.  I have a son that I so adore and a lot of the lyrics fix perfectly.  Thank you so much Rod, loved you in the 70's and still do today.

TenSpeedPress I too thought that I would like this to be played at my funeral which God willing is an aeon away. I then thought that I want my two sons to know this beautiful song, and the deep love held in its words before I depart this earth. So. I’ve decided to send them both a copy of the lyrics and access to the music on Mothering Sunday, next year 2020.
I love my boys unconditionally and as new dads themselves, I hope they will take on the beautiful sentiments for themselves, and realise that I truly and purely love them.

I new her as friends for a number of yrs and than we dated this time and everything is perfect now

I thank this time I found the right one

I'm in love again

Wonderful .

I thought it was about a woman. That's rod

sweingood

you were there then - you are here now - i am not one of your children - i am some one who listened to your music - always

A song to my son

lovely song and lyrics

I listened to this with my dad before I got married to my husband mark it was a special moment XXX love you dad xxxx

Words that strike chords within me. Profoundly Beautiful.

...Rodney has come very far indeed....

My wife's father picked this as their wedding dance song. it was amazing. 

Sou apaixonada pela voz desse homem!!!

beautiful Rod Steart song.....Thanks....

I have loved Rod Stewart's music
A long long time
Away beginning a middle then a end
Night god bless you Lady

This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs Rod Stewart has ever sung.  Love this song and this album!

This sounds so similar to "Go West" from the Village People except Slower.

+Andrés Rojas ???????

Amanda, I'm dedicating this song to you.

beautiful both lyrics and arrangement. Well done rod!   been a fan from the early sevenies knew u had it you always apart from the terrible eighties stuff

this was played at a funeral I was at today and meant so much

+baby cat It's on my list for mine!

I'm for only joking my dear

this actually made me cry.. what beautiful lyrics.. Rod has never lost it has he ? tells a story in his songs..

When I first heard this song, from Rod Stewart's latest album "Time", I had a son who had recently left for his freshman year of college, a daughter who was only months away from leaving for her freshman year of college, and my last who was just two short years away from leaving for her freshman year of college.  When listening to this song for the first time, I felt every emotion: happiness that made me smile; sadness that made me cry; fear that made me wonder if it would always hurt; comfort that made me realize that it would all be okay; and finally, awesome wonder that Rod Stewart and Kevin Savigar wrote such wonderful lyrics that put all my emotions into one beautiful song.  I still cry whenever I listen to it, but now my tears are simply those of the intense love I know I will always feel for my children. By the way, this is a great album! 

Annie thanks for sharing this beautiful number with us

Great¡

love it , I have been a fan from the start. xox

Thank you for your comment. He has just always been in my heart.

"I have been a fan of Rod's since there was Rod" I have never heard that thought and feeling put so well. Thanx

Mandolin Wind and Pure Love - So special - Rod Stewart - Timeless !

Love you too son and very much!

Now at a certain age I can understand how Rod Stewart mentioned in his interview that this was for his children! Yes I would like to leave these sentiments to my children when I leave this world!

Absolutely love this song and lyrics! I've always loved Rod Stewart's style of music! Unfortunately, I an having difficulty locating piano and guitar tutorial for this song. :(

I have been a fan of Rod's since there was Rod. This is a beautiful song that brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it. He will always be wonderful.

the more I hear this song, it's so beautiful, full of lovely things and feelings, it's one of the most lovely songs I ever heard, and one who touch your inside. it's a song for everyone, sometimes we forget the lovely things in our life, this is to remember us who we are, lovely people with feelings.

thanks for your reaction regards louisa

Pure love, pure music, pure arrangements...Pure Rod !!

Regards,

M J

This kind of songs is precisely the one that takes Rod beyond evil and good. That's why Rod has outranged the ruthless proof of time.
Kevin Savigar is a coauthor, just like 25 years ago with the legendary "Forever young".
Wow... 2 tears on my eyes.
Regards . . .

there is an other thing a like to mention, he is a great artist, a clown and a lovely man full of compasion and a man for every woman, thanks for this beautiful song

this is a pure lovely song and i love it, full of emotions and love rod and his songs forever

If your a parent, especially a Dad you cant help but be moved by this. To all of us who have children along way from home and cant put it into words this says it all. Thanks Rod.

Oh! I love this.... so reminds me of my Children xx

Lovely!!

You're very welcome dear, feel free to contact me for advice anytime...no charge! xx

I will make sure I follow your very sensible advice Clive - thank you! xx

Hi Freda..nothing wrong with soppy, male or female.
Just make sure to have a tissue handy if you're driving and listening! xx

Hi Clive - you are a sensible man. Of course the insurance wouldn't pay up if I was honest about what I'd been doing prior to any accident - but hey, as I said before, I'm just a soppy woman!

He didn't I replied to the wrong person...oops!! :-)

If you have an accident I doubt the insurance will pay up if you say you were listening to a soppy Rod Stewart song at the time.

where did he say he was driving?

love this

my daughter is there too ... this song just makes me cry

Love this track, makes me think of my three beautiful daughters.
I play it over and over.

Absolutely love this song!! The CD is awesome but by far my favorite song...

This song is soo beautiful it says everything I want to ever say to our son who lives in hong kong xx the Lyrics say it all

This song tells my lovely daughter kayley everything I haven't told her face to face - thank you rod - kayley your dad loves you to bits xxxx

Still makes me cry every time love this song lyrics are amazing ! For Liam xx

How do I upload this to facebook, got to admit I howled my eyes out when I heard this, now I remember why I love Rod Stewart.
It keeps saying the owner has not authorised this content

GONNA BE A CLASSIC .STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL SONG.MY SON LIVES HALF A WORLD AWAY IN AUSTRALIA SO VERY EMOTIONAL LISTENING TO THIS.

The best song on the new album, absolutly love it!

The most beautiful song I ever heard - love the album but this song get played the over and over!

i don't know what this man dose but my god with truth he hits the right note for a tear or two

Another good song. - I really am enjoying this album. Keep up the great work!!

sounds good but, melodically the song sounds more like a slower version of Pet Shop Boys' Go West... IMHO the best songs on the album and worth a mention are Brighton Beach, Time , Live The Life and the beautiful beautiful cover of Tom Waits' Picture in a Frame

HERMOSA CANCIÓN, HASTA LAS LAGRIMAS!!!

I heard this for the first time on Sunday. It made me think of our son who's getting married in a few weeks. A little too long for the Mother/Son dance, but I think I'll send it to him. :)

I recently lost my sister who bravely battled cancer for 6 and a half years. We used to go to see Rod live and i have such happy memories. I was so close to her and when i heard this i felt like it was meant for me and my sister. Thank you Rod

Ditto with some of these comments - I cry everytime I hear this song. It's not a good look when I'm in the car listening to it and can't see the road in front for tears - but hey - I'm a woman!

Thanks bud sometimes a song just hits home life is to short enjoy birmingham

I'm glad I'm not the only one that cries or at least tears up when I hear this song. Absolutely beautiful and special.

totally agree Kenny, cried first time i heard this, bring on Birmingham!! go Rod !!

Perfect!!! Gotta love Rod lyrics!

The song!

hermosa cancionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn¡¡¡¡¡¡
