And, there was a time when I could have learned the meaning
there was time when I might have learned the way
there was a point when I could have seen what life was about
and not gone so far astray

Yes, there was a time when I felt the warm touch of love
there was a time when I never thought to frown
there was a point when I thought that my life had real meaning
but that ended, and brought me way down

But, there was a time when I was sure that I'd found my soulmate
there was a time when she really was mine
there was point when I felt that we'd be together forever
but no luck there, and so I sit here crying

Now, there was a time when I thought that all of this mattered
there was a time when my tears wouldn't wane
there was a point when all I could ever do was cry
but now I smile, despite all the pain

'Cause there's a time to be sad
And there's a time to be lonely
But there's a point when you've just got to say,
"Enough with the tears, and enough with the sorrow!
Life's tough, but we all make our own way."
