If I had the time 
I would run away with you 
To a perfect world 
We'd suspend all that is duty or required 
 
Late last night you cried 
And I couldn't come to you 
But on the other side 
You and I, inseparable, went walking 
 
If we could steal away 
Like jugglers and thieves 
But we could come and go 
Oh, and talk of Michaelangelo, oh 
 
If we had the time (we had the time) 
We had the time 
 
The day you looked at me 
And it was on your mind 
The world is no one's dream 
We will never ever find the time, oh 
 
If we had the time 
I would run away with you 
To a perfect world 
To a perfect world
