Dear aunt Alice
Why should I marry him?
My heart's young
I keep it free
Oh, aunt Alice
There's always time enough
Then she smiled and took my hand
And she said to me
When I was just a young thing
I can recall, I dreamt of seeing Paris in fall
And London in the springtime
Oh, I'd see it all, I'd see it all someday
For I had plenty of time
Plenty of time
Why should I worry?
Yes, I had plenty of time
Plenty of time
What was the hurry?
When I was still a young thing
Love was for fun, kisses and laughter then it was done
Yes, when the game was over
Swiftly I'd run, oh, how I'd run away
For I had plenty of time
Plenty of time
Why should I worry?
Yes, I had plenty of time
Plenty of time
What was the hurry?
But a world that's right can soon go wrong
And I guess I waited much too long
For I've never been to Paris
Or to London in the spring
And that love that I, I intended to choose
The years just refused to bring
And now it suddenly seems
That I've run out of dreams
I can hold on to
Once I had plenty of time
Oh, plenty of time
Where has it gone to?
Dear aunt Alice
I think I'll marry him
All too soon, it's all too late
Yes, aunt Alice
There's never time enough
Let me hold my love today
And let tomorrow wait
