Once, early in the morning
They saw the dark blue sky
They had no money in their pockets
Just love within their eyes
She said, baby we must make a living
It's too late for us to try
The wind is cold and heavy
And time passed me by
He said to her
My dear, time is our friend
As long as we believe
He'd be kind to us again
So take my hand
There ain't no time to spend
So they moved to New York City
And sang along together
Until the sun went down
On the Hudson river
They always had a bunch a' dollars
To buy some bread and wine
And early every morning
He promised, we'll be fine
He said to her
My dear, time is our friend
As long as we believe
He'd be kind to us again
So take my hand
There ain't no time to spend
The two young lovers sang
Until the sun went down
And 'til they were left with nothing
But a worn-out guitar
And if your'e walking in the morning
By the Hudson river
You might hear them singing
Their old song together
Time is our friend
As long as we believe
He'd be kind until the end
So take my hand
There ain't no time to spend
