"Only Time" is a song by Irish singer Enya, first released in 2000. The release of this single coincided with the release of the album A Day Without Rain. In 2001 "Only Time" was released again as a remix. The track was remixed by S.A.F. (Christian B. and Mark Dold) with a final remix by Enya's producer Nicky Ryan. The song was also featured in the soundtrack of the motion picture Sweet November. To date, "Only Time" is Enya's biggest solo hit in the United States, where it peaked at #10 on Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the adult contemporary chart.

In September 2001, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, New Yorker Steve Golding released a Macromedia Flash presentation with a collection of news photos from the attacks and their victims, and the remixed version of "Only Time" was incorporated to this flash. The Flash presentation spread rapidly over the internet and eventually led to the song receiving a lot of airtime on radio.

British soprano Keedie covered the song on her album I Believe My Heart.

Chinese musical group Twelve Girls Band covered the song on their album Eastern Energy.

It was featured in the American sitcom Friends episode "The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath".

This song is used frequently on Viva La Bam.

The song was also featured in season 2, episode 16, "Unfinished Business" of the US television show, Third Watch during paramedic Bobby Caffey's funeral.
