Des'ree, born Desiree Weeks on November 30, 1968 in London, England was one of Britain's most successful pop/soul vocalists throughout the 1990s. She changed her name from Desiree Weeks because she preferred a two-syllable name. In 1994 the hit single "You Gotta Be" hit Billboard Top 5 and was a hit in the UK three times. It also allowed Des'ree to break into America. "You Gotta Be" was also a major hit in the United States, and it was featured in the movie The Next Karate Kid, starring Hilary Swank.

Time Lyrics

Des'ree

Look at the time, it's after 5.
Soon the day is over, mr. magic,
Said we'd meet before the rise.
I recall when 60 minutes used to be an hour.
As usual i find myself reading skies
Never mind, i said to myself.
Many, have this feelings,
They remain on the shelf. how can i be sure?

Chorus:
Time, oh time. yes i need more time.
Why do you keep on slipping away?
I hera wind chimes, jangle in my mind;
Oh i wish you'd stay.

Sitting around, i hear no sound.
Only the clock is ticking. seconds turn
To minutes, purely on their own.
When asleep and all is dark,
I spend my dreaming wishing, i got a feelin'.
I'm not all alone.

Chorus

Got a feelin', yes i'm reelin'. i'm tryin'.
But i'm lying to myself.
When i'm sitting and i'm thinking.
How can i be sure? how can i be sure?

Chorus.
