Written by Louise Goffin, Bill Olvia & Gerry Goffin.

There comes a time when I just don't know

It always seems to happen when you go
I need you standing by

Every time you leave, it all seems wrong
Something dies inside every time you're gone
I need you standing by

When you're with me, trouble fades away
Love you give me is easy to repay
Time won't stand still, you know it's gonna fly
But when time is without you . . .
It might as well pass by.

I got good love to give you
But it ain't gonna happen if you don't come through
If you want me you gotta try

You should know by now we don't have to compete
Just like the time we met on that two- way street
You'll find out I speak no lie

When you're with me, trouble fades away
Love you give me is easy to repay
Time won't stand still, you know it's gonna fly
But when time is without out . . .
It might as well pass by.
