Lyrics: Yes
 
I've been thing about the way I think about my thinking
I have a feeling that our little boat is sinking
I don't know anymore what it is she sees in me
Maybe the promise of the man I used to be
Somewhere long ago we lost our way
Stop the clock and start again
 
If I could freeze the sun in the sky
I could go back in time
If I could only go back to that day
Maybe we'll find our way
 
King of time!
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
King of time!
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Hold the line
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
She'll be mine
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
We'll be fine
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
Hawusashela le ntombi (we pursue the girl)
 
She remembers things I said long ago
We're trapped in the past the future won't flow
If I could travel back in time your heart would never break
Change the past and fix my mistake
 
We could wake up to a brand new day
Whistling our troubles away
If I could speak to the king of time
He could erase and rewind
 
If I could only go back to that day
Maybe we'll find our way
 
King of time!
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
King of time!
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Hold the line
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
She'll be mine
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
Hawusashela le ntombi (we pursue the girl)
 
Putting on my thinking cap
Dreaming of my victory lap
Looking for the mother load
Hoping my head don't explode
 
My crazy ballerina loves the Zulu concertina
Dancing through my memories
Man you should have seen her
 
King of time!
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
King of time!
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Hold the line
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
She'll be mine
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
 
King of time!
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
King of time!
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
Hold the line
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
She'll be mine
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (do not let the sun go down)
We'll be fine
Wolibamba ilanga (hold up the sun)
Hawusashela le ntombi (we pursue the girl)
 
King of time!
Wo-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
King of time!
Wo-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
 
I give it all up
I give it all up for you
I give it all up
I give it all up for you
Hawusashela le ntombi (we pursue the girl)
