We Don't Have That Much Time Together Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

Alone in a car driving me far to get to you today 

The wind at my wings whispering things for me to say 

The moon is in view when I get to you 

These tender moments are a precious few 

'Cause we don't have that much time together 

'Cause we don't have that much time together 

The smell of your skin and I begin 

To kneel and to pray to you 

Your sensual caress makes me confess my love for you 

As we're making love we can't get enough 

The clock is never kind when we unwind 

'Cause we don't have that much time together 

'Cause we don't have that much time together 

Heaven is only halt the distance 

Between your soul and mine 

Blood is thicker than water yes 

But love is thicker than blood 

You bring me provisions of perfect peace 

Your sugar stained tongue is sweet 

So Heaven is only half the distance 

Between your soul and mine 

Because of your sighs the hours fly 

As though they're filled with air 

Yet here we are ascending the stars as lovers dare 

The rising sun is ending our fun 

We'll leave to future promise what's left undone 

'Cause we don't have that much time together 

'Cause we don't have that much time together 

You bring me provisions of perfect peace 

Your sugar stained tongue is sweet 

So Heaven is only half the distance 

Between your soul and mine 

The eye of the storm where it is warm peaceful and serene 

Your spiral of tears as morning papers 

The bitter sweet aroma of ecstasy 

'Cause we don't have that much time together 

'Cause we don't have that much time together
