Lyrics

It Just Takes Time

(Kathy Kallick & Nina Gerber, Southern Melody Publishing Co./BMI)

You’re hurting way too much
You need somebody’s touch
Understanding’s not enough
You need love

You’ve been dealt the unfair blow
The last hit was much too low
You’ll get through somehow, but how
You just don’t know

CHORUS:

Everybody says it just takes time
All the while you’ll walk the line
With time crawling by
You say you’re doing fine

Oh, but your faith in life is shot
Your friends are all you’ve got
And a friend’s kind words don’t hit the spot
You need love

CHORUS

So full of fear you can’t reach out
Your mind so full of doubt
Better cry for love
Better scream and shout for love

Sometime’s the anger’s all that’s real
And you’re just too numb to feel
As the doors slam shut
Let your heart steal back to love
