Time After Time – Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bed, I hear the 
clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, "go slow"
And I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look 
and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, 
I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look 
and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, 
I will be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades 
and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
And the drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look 
and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, 
I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look 
and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, 
I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

I've got a suitcase of memories 
that I almost left behind
Time after time
Time, time, time
But you say to go slow 
but I fall behind
Time after time after time 
(after time, oh)
