about

At the end of the 2014 convention, OVFF announced the song contest subject for 2015, Time After Time. I was still reeling from the loss of Bari, and when the chorus came to me, I thought I was writing him another
song. But then I felt Bari say no, that I had already done one for him, and how about writing the Doctor Who song we'd always wanted to write and never got round to? So I spent Halloween 2014 writing this song while
watching School Reunion, the episode which brought back the incomparable Sarah Jane Smith.

lyrics

You left me alone - not quite at home,
A summons you couldn't refuse.
To Galifrey - you were called away,
It wasn't my choice to be left by you.

Time after time after time after time I think of you.
And time after time after time after time I'm missing you.
Time after time I look to the sky and wonder who,
Is traveling through - The depths of space, and time and place,
And seeing new - faces on you.

Introduced to John Smith - guess you couldn't resist,
A school of mysterious repute.
Then the TARDIS I found - while looking around,
There could be no substitute.
Heard "Hello Sarah Jane" - you saying my name,
The years just melted away.
And just like before - as the monsters roared,
We run straight into the fray.

Time after time after time after time I thought of you.
And time after time after time after time I so missed you.
Time after time I looked to the sky and I wondered who,
Was traveling through - The depths of space, and time and place,
And seeing new - faces on you.

I felt so spurned - when you didn't return,
And asked if I'd done something wrong.
But pain makes you fly - you never say good-bye,
Searching for where you belong.
Cause you never age - while we die and decay,
And knowing it, hurts you so.
Now Rose will learn - On the day it's her turn,
To watch you as you go.

Time after time after time after time she'll think of you.
And time after time after time after time she will so miss you.
Time after time she will look to the sky and wonder who,
Is traveling through - The depths of space, and time and place,
And seeing new - faces on you.

You asked me to stay - What could I say?
It was what I wanted to hear.
But this time my choice - to find my own voice,
My path was finally clear.

But time after time after time after time I will think of you.
And time after time after time after time I will still miss you.
Time after time I will look to the sky and wonder who,
Is traveling through - The depths of space and time and place,
And seeing new - faces on you - the way you do.
