The Jacksons - Time Waits for No One

* Produced by The Jacksons
* Composed by Jackie Jackson and Randy Jackson

Written by Jackie and Randy Jackson, and recorded by the Jacksons for their album, Triumph, issued in October 1980.

It is the fifth single released from the album in the UK (no USA release) - listed as a chart 'breaker' for one week, but didn't sell well enough to enter the Top 50.

Time Waits for No One - Lyrics

Lonely
In my darkened room
Sad and weary
Persevering for love
Sad and weary
Persevering

And I hope that she is thinking
To come back to me
Is it possible she’s thinking of me at all
Have I gone too far

If only I had shown her love
She’d be with me
Deep inside me
My love, my love
She’d be with me
Deep inside me

And I hope that she is thinking
To come back to me
And I pray that faith can bear
This suffering inside
’Til she arrives

And I hope that she is thinking
To come back to me
And I’m scared there’s someone
Sleeping by her side
I can’t hide all the pain deep inside
Is this love

Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
(No one)
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one

As corny as this sounds, that's exactly how things stand - time waits for NO ONE cause LOVE NEEDS EXPRESSION. Tomorrow may never come for anyone and 1, if not THE biggest mistake anybody can make is to take people for granted thinking they would always be around to be taken for granted.

Michael's voice is sheer elegance. The melody is so simple and pure; a true reflection of who Michael really was.
I miss him so much

It is so true that time waits for no one!!! We should always remember that we are not promised tomorrow.

daffy89, cette chanson est tirée de l'album Triumph des Jacksons, sorti en 1980. Et elle est effectivement très belle... Michael chante très bien les ballades, non ?
