Is there a time for keeping your distance? / A time to turn your eyes away? / Is there a time for keeping your head down / For getting on with your day?

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick? / A time for cutting hair? / Is there a time for high street shopping / To find the right dress to wear?

Here she comes (Ooh hoo hoo), heads turn around / Here she comes to take her crown

Is there a time to run for cover? / A time for kiss and tell? / Is there a time for different colours? / Different names you find it hard to spell?

Is there a time for first communion? / A time for East 17? / Is there a time to turn to Mecca? / Is there a time to be a beauty queen?

Here she comes (Ooh hoo), beauty plays the clown / Here she comes, surreal in her crown

Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare / E come il fiume giungerai a me / Oltre i confini e le terre assetate / Dici che come fiume, come fiume / L’amore giungerà, l’amore / E non so più pregare / E nell’amore non so più sperare / E quell’amore non so più aspettare

Is there a time for tying ribbons? / A time for Christmas trees? / Is there a time for laying tables / And the night is set to freeze?
