Time is the fourth studio album, and second major label studio album, released
by Canadian singer Michael Bublé.
The album was released by 143
Records and Reprise Records on February 8, 2005.
Similar to Buble’s previous
albums, this album features his covers of well-known songs from varying
decades. Unlike the previous albums, this one was the first to feature a song
penned in part by the jazz performer himself called “Home.” After its release, It's
Time received mixed to positive reviews from contemporary music critics. While
many commended the use of Bublé's vocals, the album faced criticism regarding
Bublé's extensive use of jazz and pop covers that appeared throughout the majority of the album.
Despite some unfavorable reviews,
the album became a commercial success, topping the charts in Canada, Italy, and
Spain, while also peaking in the top ten in eleven other countries. The
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it three-times
platinum, for shipments of three million copies
across the United States. In Australia,
the album was certified 5× Platinum by the ARIA for
sales of 350,000 copies sold, and in Canada it was certified 6× Platinum by the
CRIA for
sales of 600,000 copies, the album has sold 6 million units worldwide.
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
breze driftin' on by you know how I feel
(refrain)
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
(refrain)
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't
you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
