When I have time, so many things I’ll do
To make life happier and more fair
For those whose lives are crowded full with care;
I’ll help to lift them up from their despair--
When I have time.
When I have time, the friend I love so well
Shall know no more these weary toiling days;
I’ll lead her feet in pleasant paths always,
And cheer her heart with sweetest words of praise--
When I have time.
When you have time, the friend you loved so dear
May be beyond the reach of your intent;
May never know that you so kindly meant
To fill her life with ever sweet content--
When you had time.
Now is the time. Ah, friend, no longer wait
To scatter loving smiles and words of cheer
To those around whose lives are now so drear;
They may not need you in the coming year--
Now is the time. (Text.)
