"It Takes Time" lyrics

Colin James Lyrics

"It Takes Time"
(originally by Otis Rush)

In time baby, I'll get you off of my mind
But little by little, let my love slow down
But, oh yeah, I know what it means to be alone
Today you're laughing pretty baby, tomorrow you could be crying

You live for today, leave tomorrow on its own
We got a little child, and we try to make a home
But, oh yeah, I know what it means to be alone
Today you're laughing pretty baby, tomorrow you could be crying

There's an old saying, every dog has its day
The good dogs are warning, the bad just fades away
Oh yeah, I know what it means to be alone
Today you're laughing pretty baby, tomorrow you could be crying

Takes time, baby
Takes time, baby
Takes time, baby

Can't You See What You're Doing To Me
That's Why I'm Crying

Raging River
Leave This House
It Takes Time
There's A Fire
It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry

Down On The Bottom
I Love You More Than Words Can Say
