Tony Joe White - Take Time to Love lyrics

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
