Take Time to Love - Tony Joe White

I awoke late last night

And heard you cry softly by the window

I walked across the floor to ask what’s wrong?

And as I put my arms around your shoulders

Right away I knew it had been too long

Since we walked hand in hand by the river

Or lay for hours watching the skies above

Or let our eyes hold each other cross a crowded room

So long since we had taken time to love

We’ve got to take some time for understanding

On that long and winding road back to love

Let’s don’t let our story have a sad sad ending

We got to take the time to love

So baby come and lay back down beside me

And let me hold you close and keep you warm

We don’t need no special plans for tomorrow oh

Together we will take it as it comes

We can walk hand in hand by the river

And lay for hours watching the skies above

And taking time to find all those good things we once had

Taking time to love

Taking time to love
