Shining in the Distance

All the gold and silver too
Shining in the distance
And all I wish to spend with you
Is it not time, is it not time?
Like hanging fruit upon the tree
Shining in the distance
Between the orchard and the sea
Is it not time, is it not time?
That sunlit house upon the hill
Shining in the distance
A prize to hold, a cup to fill
Is it not time, is it not time?
We will not wait, barely begun
Shining in the distance
But if my day should never come
Is it not time, is it not time?
Bells of sorrow start their ringing
Shining in the distance
Oh, how can we keep from singing?
Is it not time, is it not time?
Shining in the distance
