介紹摘自網絡：
"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》獲2002年的流行單曲獎。很多美國人將這首寓意深刻的歌曲作為撫慰自己脆弱心靈的良方。也是《甜蜜十一月》的主題曲。十二年後由著名動作演員尚格·雲頓為沃爾沃貨車拍攝的精彩廣告“偉大的劈腿”(The Epic Split)也采用此曲當背景音樂。
專輯中有著無限哀愁的單曲《Only Time》，在全美哀悼911罹難者時排第十名。這首歌曲具有濃厚的愛爾蘭凱爾特民族音樂的特點，旋律優美而深邃，超凡脫俗，神秘聖潔，給人以無限的遐想。
歌曲創作背景：
Enya於1999年遭遇了一場嚴重的車禍，在醫院裏昏迷了三天三夜。自小與Enya音樂觀念不合並多年未見的姐姐Moya知道後連夜寫下新曲為她祈福。與死亡擦肩而過的Enya醒來得知姐姐的心意，壓抑多年的感情終於暴發了出來，寫下了觸及靈魂的旋律《Only Time》。
歌詞：
Who can say where the road goes,誰能說出,道路伸向何方
Where the day flows歲月流逝何處
Only time...唯有時光
And who can say if your love grows,又有誰能說出是否愛在成長
As your heart chose如心之所願
Only time...唯有時光
(chants)
Who can say why your heart signs,誰能說出,你的心何以歎息
As your love flies當愛已飛走
Only time...唯有時光
And who can say why your heart cries,又有誰能說出,你的心為何哭泣
When your love dies當你的愛死去
Only time...唯有時光
(chants)
Who can say when the roads meet,誰能說出何時道路在此匯聚
That love might be,這可能是愛
In your heart.在你的心裏
And who can say when the day sleeps,又有誰能說出何時白晝將睡去
If the night keeps all your hearts是否黑夜全部占據你的心
Night keeps all your heart...夜晚全部占據你的心
(extended chants)
Who can say if your love grows,誰可以說是否你的愛已成長
As your heart chose如心之所願
Only time...唯有時光
And who can say where the road goes,誰又能說出路將延伸至何方
Where the day flows時光流逝至何處
Only time...唯有時光
Who knows誰知道
Only time...唯有時光
Who knows誰知道
Only time...唯有時光
