Sam Cooke - Rome (Wasn't Built in a Day) lyrics

Don't, honey don't, go away, no no Don't you hear, don't you hear, What I say, what I say Give me time, give me time I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine But I know Rome wasn't built in a day Now, you know that I love you dear with all my heart I know that you didn't love me from the start But I planted a lil' seed in your heart I know And it just needs time to grow, baby Don't, honey don't, go away, no no Don't you hear, don't you hear, What I say, what I say Give me time, give me time I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine But I know Rome wasn't built in a day Listen to me honey now How would Romeo feel if his Juliet Had turned down his advances and played hard to get He wouldn't have let this bother him, this I know Because where there's light there's hope Oh! Baby, don't go away, no no Don't you hear now, don't you hear now, What I say, what I say Give me time, give me time I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine But I know Rome wasn't built in a day Don't you hear me telling you that Rome wasn't built in a day Don't you realize that Rome wasn't built in a day
