A Sign of the Times [Performed Live On the Ed Sullivan Show 8/14/1966]
It's a sign of the times
that your love for me is getting so much stronger.
It's a sign of the times
and I know that I won't have to wait much longer.
You changed a love, somehow,
from the one I used to know.
For when you hold me now,
I feel like you never want to let me go.
It's a sign of the times
that you call me up whenever you feel lonely.
It's a sign of the times
that you tell your friends that I'm your one and only.
I'll never understand
the way you treated me.
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be!
Maybe my love-kissed star
at last decided to shine!
Maybe somebody knows
how long I've waited to make you mine!
um-um-um
-musical interlude-
I'll never understand
the way you treated me.
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be!
Maybe my love-kissed star
at last decided to shine!
Maybe somebody knows
how long I've waited to make you mine!
It's a sign of the times
that you kiss me now as if you really mean it.
It's a sign of the times
and a year ago I never could have seen it.
Don't ever change your mind
and take your love away.
Just leave the past behind
and, baby, only think of how it is today!
It's a sign of the times!
It's a sign of the times!
It's a sign of the times!
