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 time  sometimes
but  baby you are not going down
It  takes more than  you got  right now
give  it, give it time
 (instrumental interlude like intro)
What’s  this walking through my door
I  know  I’ve seen the look before
Sometimes  on faces on the street
And  sometimes at the mirror looking back at me
You  can’t fix the pain with money
You  cant’t rush a weary soul
You  can’t sweep it under the rug now honey
But  it take not a lot to know
Well  it may not be over my morning
But  Rome wasn’t build in a day
You  can name that thing a thousand times
It  won’t make it go away
Let  me put my arms around you
And  hold you while you weep
We  ‘ve been talking and you know what, I’m sick of this talk
And  it’s nothing that won’t keep
 Chorus freely again but modulates a whole tone up.
Takes  a little time  sometime
to  get the....
 You can’t fix the pain with money
 You cant’t rush a weary soul
 You can’t sweep it under the rug now honey
 But it take not a lot to know
 Chorus ad lib
