Love Takes Time - Orleans

I had it all, but I let it slip away Couldn't see I treated you wrong Now I wander around, feeling down and cold Trying to believe that you're gone Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind To let you go I can't escape the pain inside 'Cause love takes time I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone (Ooh-ooh) Losing my mind from this hollow in my heart Suddenly, I'm so incomplete Lord, I'm needing you now Tell me how to stop the rain Tears are falling down endlessly (Oh-oh) Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind To let you go I can't escape the pain inside 'Cause love takes time And I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here, alone You might say that it's over You might say that you don't care You might say you don't miss me You don't need me But I know that you do And I feel that you do, inside (Oh, oh) Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I, I was so blind To let you go I can't escape the pain inside 'Cause love takes time I don't wanna be there I don't wanna be there, alone

It takes a little time sometimes To get your feet back on the ground It takes a little time sometimes To get the Titanic turned back around It takes a little sometimes But baby, you're not going down It takes more than you got right now Give it, give it time What's this walking through my door I know I've seen the look before Sometimes on faces in the street And sometimes in the mirror, looking back at me You can't fix this pain with money You can't rush a weary soul You can't sweep it under the rug, now, honey It don't take a lot to know It takes a little time sometimes To get your feet back on the ground It takes a little time, sometimes To get the Titanic turned back around It takes a little sometimes But baby, you're not going down It takes more than you got right now Give it, give it time Yeah, give it time But it may not be over by morning Rome wasn't built in a day You can name that thing a thousand times And it won't make it go away Let me put my arms around you And hold you while weep We've been talking, and you know what, I'm sick of this talk It's nothing that won't keep It takes a little time, sometimes To get your feet back, on the ground It takes a little time, sometimes To turn the Titanic around It takes a little sometimes But baby, you're not going down It takes more than you got right now Give it, give it time It takes a little more time, more time (Turn the Titanic around) Turn it around, around, around (Baby, you're not going down) Takes a little time sometime You can't fix this pain with money You can't rush a weary soul You can't sweep it under the rug, now, honey It don't take a lot to know It takes a little time, sometimes To get your feet back, on the ground It takes a little time, sometimes To turn the Titanic around It takes a little sometimes But baby, you're not going down You got things to think of now So give it, give it time Give it, give it time

Time Passes On Like a river that must always run Now you are gone But I will have you 'til time is done You can never take away The love you gave me yesterday And I don't have to capture you 'Cause you're here in my memory My life goes on (My life goes on) Like a song that is never still I'll sing that song to the emptiness I'll never fill I don't need your photograph To see your face in front of me We may never touch again But you're here in this melody What once was will always be And you've left your imprint on me Sometimes I think it's the spark of conflict With which we affect most heavily But I hope if you think of me You'll remember only harmony and Time passes on (Time passes on) Like a river that must always run Now you are gone But I will have you 'til time is done (Ooh) You can never take away (Ooh) The love you gave me yesterday And I don't have to capture you 'Cause you're here in my memory Ooh, ooh

Workin' all night and day Playin' the time away I just wanna go home put my feet up and get stoned Back and forth to New York Somebody please pull the cork If I gotta be there I just know I got to be stoned Who can depend on a life on the road Missin' your friends and havin' no home I'm not complainin' just let it be knowed That the best way to dig is to put on a load Gettin' to sleep before dawn Ain't somethin' you can count on for long But when I gotta stay up I count on that cup to get stoned Studio hours always leave you a mess They don't give you no peace They don't give you no rest Heaven knows I love that sweet music to death And when I'm dyin' from the hundredth take I take out my very best bottle And pour me a round Things start to settle down If you can't beat'em Join 'em once and for all and get Stoned, plowed, lord knows how It makes it easy to get through it all

Sails are just like wings, you can fly from things Run before the wind, Lord, let it blow Let it rock me slow while I sleep below Dreaming dreams that only sailors know And it will soothe your mind, smooth away your lives Set your clock back on your own time If you sail with me, we will find the sea We will find our love over again
