介绍摘自网络：
"Only Time" is a song by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 13 November 2000 as the lead single to her fifth studio album, A Day Without Rain (2000). The song reached number one in Canada, Germany, Poland and Switzerland, number two in Austria, and became Enya's only top-ten single as a solo artist in the United States, peaking at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100.
《only time》获2002年的流行单曲奖。很多美国人将这首寓意深刻的歌曲作为抚慰自己脆弱心灵的良方。也是《甜蜜十一月》的主题曲。十二年后由著名动作演员尚格·云顿为沃尔沃货车拍摄的精彩广告“伟大的劈腿”(The Epic Split)也采用此曲当背景音乐。
专辑中有着无限哀愁的单曲《Only Time》，在全美哀悼911罹难者时排第十名。这首歌曲具有浓厚的爱尔兰凯尔特民族音乐的特点，旋律优美而深邃，超凡脱俗，神秘圣洁，给人以无限的遐想。
歌曲创作背景：
Enya于1999年遭遇了一场严重的车祸，在医院里昏迷了三天三夜。自小与Enya音乐观念不合并多年未见的姐姐Moya知道后连夜写下新曲为她祈福。与死亡擦肩而过的Enya醒来得知姐姐的心意，压抑多年的感情终于暴发了出来，写下了触及灵魂的旋律《Only Time》。
歌词：
Who can say where the road goes,谁能说出,道路伸向何方
Where the day flows岁月流逝何处
Only time...唯有时光
And who can say if your love grows,又有谁能说出是否爱在成长
As your heart chose如心之所愿
Only time...唯有时光
(chants)
Who can say why your heart signs,谁能说出,你的心何以叹息
As your love flies当爱已飞走
Only time...唯有时光
And who can say why your heart cries,又有谁能说出,你的心为何哭泣
When your love dies当你的爱死去
Only time...唯有时光
(chants)
Who can say when the roads meet,谁能说出何时道路在此汇聚
That love might be,这可能是爱
In your heart.在你的心里
And who can say when the day sleeps,又有谁能说出何时白昼将睡去
If the night keeps all your hearts是否黑夜全部占据你的心
Night keeps all your heart...夜晚全部占据你的心
(extended chants)
Who can say if your love grows,谁可以说是否你的爱已成长
As your heart chose如心之所愿
Only time...唯有时光
And who can say where the road goes,谁又能说出路将延伸至何方
Where the day flows时光流逝至何处
Only time...唯有时光
Who knows谁知道
Only time...唯有时光
Who knows谁知道
Only time...唯有时光
