The Nova Local - If You Only Had The Time lyrics

See the flowers See the pretty, pretty flowers You could pick them here for hours If you only had the time See the children See the little, little children You could pay attention to them If you only had the time Waste your life away And one day you'll find You're missing things Missing things all the time Is it much too much to ask Not to hide behind the mask? Locking things out on your mind Seems to me to be unkind Unkind See the laughter Hear the merry, merry laughter You can hear what they are after If you only had the time See the singing Hear the lovely, lovely singing You could hear ice cream bells ringing If you only had the time Waste your life away And one day you'll find You're missing things Missing things all the time Is it much too much to ask Not to hide behind the mask? Locking things out from your mind Seems to me to be unkind Unkind
