Artists
Enya – vocals, keyboards, synthesizers, multi-tracked voices
Music by Enya (with Nicky Ryan also credited as a co-composer on some listings), lyrics by Roma Ryan. Arranged by Enya & Nicky Ryan, produced, engineered, and mixed by Nicky Ryan, mastered by Dick Beetham. Recorded 1998–2000 at Aigle Studio (Killiney, County Dublin). The third track (3:38) on A Day Without Rain (WEA/Reprise, November 2000), released as the lead single on 6 November 2000.
The song reached No. 1 in Canada, Germany, Poland, and Switzerland, but it became a US hit only after the September 11 attacks, when it was widely used in radio and TV coverage and Reprise released a remix by the Swiss American Federation (S.A.F.). That remix, with a final mix by Nicky Ryan, took it to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on adult contemporary, making it Enya’s only top-10 single in the US, with proceeds from the remix single donated to victims’ families. Enya and Roma Ryan drew on parts of Enya’s own love life for the song, and it appeared in the 2001 film Sweet November.
Enya – Only Time Lyrics
Who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?
Only time.
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose?
Only time.
Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies?
Only time.
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies?
Only time.
Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart,
Night keeps all your heart?
Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose?
Only time.
And who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?
Only time.
Who knows? Only time.
Who knows? Only time.
