“Only Time” is a song by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released in November 2000 as the lead single to her fifth studio album, A Day Without Rain (2000). The song reached number one in Canada, Germany, Poland and Switzerland, number two in Austria, and became Enya’s only top-ten single as a solo artist in the United States, peaking at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2001, “Only Time” was released again as a remix. The track was remixed by the Swiss American Federation (S.A.F.) (Christian B. and Marc Dold) with a final remix by Enya’s producer, Nicky Ryan. Enya donated the earnings from the sale of that single to the Uniform Firefighters Association’s Widows’ and Children’s Fund to help the families of fire fighters in the aftermath of 9/11. The song was also featured in the soundtrack of the motion picture Sweet November. Following the September 2001 attacks, sales of the album and its lead single, “Only Time”, skyrocketed after it was used by several radio and television networks in their coverage and aftermath of the attacks. As a result, “Only Time” climbed to number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number one on the adult contemporary chart.
The song’s music video, which shows Enya performing the song in a spring, summer, fall and winter theme, was directed by Graham Fink and was released in 2000. In 2002, the song received a ECHO Award for Best Single of the Year.
