Give a Little Time Lyrics

 

Think about the time
These are the best of days
You hold the world in the palm of your hand
You’ve got one, two, three, four
Who needs more?
An army at your command
Suddenly, you don’t belong (Suddenly, you don’t belong)
And if the others treat you wrong (And if the others treat you wrong)
Draw closer, try to make the most of…
You don’t have the time to waste time

Once upon a time, you had the best of friends
You were alive in each other’s minds
Read a likeness in your words
Are you ever going to send
That letter you find?
You never say I told you so (You never say I told you so)
Never tell me how you know (Never tell me how you know)
Come closer, try to make the most of…
You don’t have the time to waste time

Destroy your correspondence
You read it back, it’s nonsense
Old letters, feed them to the shredder
You can let the past be silent
Speculate, accumulate
Embrace the love, erase the hate
Move closer, try to make the most of…
Give a little time to make time
Give a little time to make time
Give a little time
Give a little time to make time
