Take Time to Love

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
