There Was a Time

Houve Um Tempo

There Was a Time

Houve um tempo, há muito tempoThere was a time, so long ago
Houve um fogo, houve um brilhoThere was a fire, there was a glow
E lá estava você, eu não sabiaAnd there was you, I didn't know
Houve um tempoThere was a time

E naquele tempo você olhou para mimAnd in that time, you looked at me
Eu me perguntei então se poderia serI wondered then if it could be
Eu não esperava, eu não conseguia verI didn't hope, I couldn't see
Houve um tempoThere was a time

Houve um tempo em que desviei o olharThere was a time, I looked away
Dei a palavra final aos meus medosI gave my fears the final say
Gostaria de poder voltar atrás no diaWish I could now take back the day
Houve um tempoThere was a time

Nas fotos eu posso ver agoraIn photographs I can see it now
Eu não conseguia ver entãoI couldn't see it then
Eu quero ontem para o meu amanhãI want yesterday for my tomorrow
Mas não vai voltarBut it won't come again
Na memória ainda guardoIn memory I still hold
O doce momento quandoThe sweet momеnt when

Houve um tempo em que eu poderia ter vencidoThere was a timе I could have won
Uma vida de amor, um sol nascenteA life of love, a rising sun
Mas o que deveria ser não foi iniciadoBut what should be was not begun
Houve um tempoThere was a time

Houve um tempo, há muito tempoThere was a time, so long ago
Houve um fogo, houve um brilhoThere was a fire, there was a glow
E lá estava você, eu não sabiaAnd there was you, I didn't know
Houve um tempoThere was a time

Houve um tempo em que eu poderia ter vencidoThere was a time I could have won
Uma vida de amor, um sol nascenteA life of love, a rising sun
Mas o que deveria ser não foi iniciadoBut what should be was not begun
Houve um tempoThere was a time
