WHEN THE TIME COMES Lyrics

Artist: Tom Petty
Album: You're Gonna Get It!

This might sound strange
Might seem dumb
Depends on the side
That you take it in from
Depends on the time
Depends on the day
Depends on the life
Who can say

But I just want
To let you know
That I will stand
By you
Through whatever might come
Wherever you run
Will you stand by me
When the time comes

Baby do you understand
Am I making this clear
Are you tuning me out
Cause I'm comin' off weird
Well I don't care
That's alright
It's okay
I don't mind

But I just want
To let you know
That I will stand
By you
Through whatever might come
Wherever you run
Will you stand by me
When the time comes

This ain't the right time
To say what's on my mind
I know
Well I look in your eyes
And there is no real life
At all
Baby hold on

And some day soon
You'll come around
You'll know the way
That I can be found
And when your heart feels right
Seek me out
We can talk forever babe,
But, right now

But I just want
To let you know
That I will stand
By you
Through whatever might come
Wherever you run
Will you stand by me
When the time comes

The lyric on the first verse is

"Depends on the time,depends on the place,depends on A LOT OF THINGS YOU COULD SAY"

Yeah, and right after the bridge it's "YOU'LL KNOW WHERE I can be found" not "You'll know the way"!
