Is there a time for keeping your distance?
A time to turn your eyes away?
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day?
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick?
A time for cutting hair?
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear?
Here she comes, heads turn around
Here she comes, to take her crown

Is there a time to run for cover?
A time for kiss and tell?
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find hard to spell?
Is there a time for first communion?
A time for East 17?
Is there a time to turn to Mecca?
Is there time to be a beauty queen?
Here she comes, beauty plays the clown
Here she comes, surreal in her crown

Dici che il fiume (You say that the river)
Trova la via al mare (Finds its way to the sea)
E come il fiume (And like the river)
Giungerai a me (You will come to me)
Oltre i confini (Beyond the borders)
E le terre assetate (And the dry lands)
Dici che come il fiume (You say that like the river)
Come il fiume... (Like the river…)
L'amore giungerà (Love will come)
L'amore... (Love…)
E non so più pregare (And I no longer pray)
E nell'amore non so più sperare (And I no longer hope for love)
E quell'amore non so più aspettare (And love no longer waits)

Is there a time for tying ribbons?
A time for Christmas trees?
Is there a time for laying tables
When the night is set to freeze?
