INTRO
A7 E7sus4 2x
VERSE 1
Sittin’ sippin’ a bottle of wine and I
Know it’s not the time,
To start reminiscing.
All these images fall through my mind,
I know it’s not the time,
To admit that I miss him…real bad… so sad. (Stop/Sustain)
VERSE 2 (Saxophone Enters)
Sitting here with a picture of him and he’s fine,
But it’s not the time, (Not the Time)
To do what I’m wishing. (Not the Time)
The man’s mine by accident or design,
But it’s not the time, (Not the Time)
To stop and to kiss him…. (Not the Time)…Real slow… oh no, oh no. (crescendo)
REFRAIN
The way I feel takes me up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
And we’ll keep on rolling on as long,
As we keep each other wound… real tight…. That’s right. ______

SAXOPHONE LEAD
VERSE 3
Sitting here watching friends and lovers go by,
But it’s not the time, (Not the Time)
To take my place with them. (Not the Time)
Well I wonder if the way I feels a lie,
But it’s not the time, (Not the Time)
For my heart to be missing… (Not the Time)…a beat… or is it complete?
REFRAIN REPEAT
