Your Time Hasn't Come Yet Baby

Rating:
3.6 / 5

Words & Music: Joel Hirschhorn Al Kasha

Your time hasn't come yet baby
You got a lot of dreams to go
Your time hasn't come yet baby
But when it does your heart will know

You're gonna be a beautiful woman
Because you're such a beautiful child
And when you start to bloom
Just like a rose in June
I bet the schoolboys all go wild, but right now

Your time hasn't come yet baby
You got a few dreams to go
Your time hasn't come yet baby
When it does your heart will know

Your life's still a lollipop heaven
Your teddy bear's at the foot of your bed
The little boy next door who only makes you sore
Is gonna some day turn your head but right now

Your time hasn't come yet baby
You got a few dreams to go
Your time hasn't come yet baby
When it does your heart will know

You're gonna grow over night into a lady
With a devastating smile
And then a lucky guy will see you
And wanna walk you down the aisle, but meanwhile

Your time hasn't come yet baby
You got a few dreams to go
Your time hasn't come yet baby
When it does your heart will know
When it does your heart will know
When it does your heart will know

One of only 2 good songs from Speedway, the other being Let Yourself Go which should have been the A side on this single.

I've always liked this one! Actually the single b/w Let Yourself Go was one of the better soundtrack singles released during the last half of the sixties. Thing is that times were different when it came out. As isolated soundtrack material it's ok! Over the years I've also come to like Who Are You? more and more.

Very cute song...I never skip that one. As a child melody, it sounds way better than "Confidence".

One of the better soundtrack songs to emerge from the plethora of sub standard recordings which had been the norm for many of Elvis' films. The record did reasonably well in the UK on it's release and even got those all important radio plays too.

Not bad. I imagine that if this came out in 1962-63 it would have been a much bigger hit. Yes, the times & music had changed too much by the time this came out and Let Yourself Go would have been a much better A side.

Not one that I usually skip. Certainly an improvement on Long Legged Girl & Love Machine. Just a hint of what was around the corner.

Year 1967: Procol Harum – Whiter shade of Pale; The Doors – Light My fire; The Beatles – Srgt. Pepper; Merle Haggard – I’m a lonesome fugitive; Pink Floyd; The Pipers at the Gates…; Jimmi Hendrix - Are you experienced?; The Tremeloes – Silence is Golden; Bobbie Gentry – An Ode to Billie Joe; …. With all those songs and albums how can we comment about “Your time hasn’t come yet baby” and Speedway. It’s the lowest Elvis went. A True Shame for me, as a fan.

Not all was so golden for music purists in 1967 - The Monkees (who I enjoy, but most "purists" turn up their noses to them) were the biggest selling album artists (spending 28 weeks at #1 on the U.S. LP chart); The unbearable single, "Windy" by the Association was #1 for four weeks and the equally bad "To Sir With Love" by Lulu #1 for five weeks and the number one record of the year. A bad duet by Frank and Nancy Sinatra was #1 for four weeks. The Supremes hit #1 again with two songs that sounded identical to their last dozen hits and "Ode To Billy Joe" is one of the worst songs to ever hit #1. Of course, "Speedway" and this song were released in 1968 and this song is a nice, enjoyable listen and even managed to spend more weeks in the Top 40 than it's U.S. A-side, "Let Yourself Go". This song is featured in a very cute scene in the movie as Elvis sings to an adorable little girl. I am glad Elvis recorded this song as opposed to several songs that hit #1 in '68. "Honey" and "Harper Valley PTA" to name two.

Definitely not his worst track, but I can't call it good either.

A very pleasant album movie track but not single material back in 1968. The other side Let Yourself Go should have been heavily promoted and that given the right circumstances would have been a major hit. Disregarding that fact this is a track I don't skip and is worth 3 1/2 stars.

In those years I had no connection with the then 'current' music. I did not like the so-called hot songs of that moment. And then there was this song and the flip side( no shades, no fire, just Let Yourself Go). Needless to say I enjoyed that more.

A beautiful tune about growing up.

I actually just rewatched Speedway yesterday for the first time in years. It really isn't a bad movie, and this song isn't too bad either. It is sung to a child in the movie, and indeed, like a lot of Elvis movie songs, it is more suited for children. Elvis certainly looked amazing in this movie, with those 2 jackets---the red one and the blue one, with the 2 racing stripes.

I've always liked this Elvis movie song and it's a much better song than many of Elvis' other movie songs from the 1960's. I've always liked the movie "Speedway" too.

I enjoy the whole album (poorly produced) and the FTD remaster makes it even better. A really pleasant tune and Elvis’ voice is infectious. Don’t give a dam about what else was happening in the charts at the same time, but everyone has their own valid opinion. Call me narrow minded but I just like listening to Elvis and I love this track 3.5 stars
