Love Takes Time Lyrics

Artist: Orleans
Album: Love Takes Time

LOVE TAKES TIME
Orleans

I saw a twinkle in her eye
It lit a fire deep inside
But it burned so wild and strong
I knew it wouldn't last for long

'Cause love takes time
And it's hard to find
You gotta take some time
To let love grow

I saw a shooting star go by
It blazed a path across the sky
But the beauty did not last, no
some things just happen all to fast

But love takes time
And it's hard to find
You gotta take some time
To let love grow, whoa

Well some think love's a game
You play for a night or two
But I think that's a shame
'Cause I know that in the end
They're bound to lose

Love takes time
Yes it's hard to find
You gotta take some time
To let love grow

Oh love takes time
I said that it's hard to find
Oh, just take your time
And love will grow
If we really want our love to grow
We gotta take it slow, whoa

Love takes time
Yes it's hard to find
Baby love takes time
Yours and mine, whoa

A GREAT SONG AND SO TRUE TO LIFE, THINK ABOUT IT .....LOVE DOES TAKE TIMES, UNFORTUNATELY IT CAN FALL APART IN HALF OR LESS THAN HALF THE TIME THAT IT TAKES TO GET STARTED...PEACE.....

I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER.!!! THE ORLEANS HAD NOTHING BUT GREAT SONGS...THEY DESERVE MORE CREDIT..

I agree with Brooks.Orleans had some of the best songs on the radio in the 70's.I listen to them and great memories come back to me.

Orleans! You rock the house!

Orleans should come back on the music scene. I truly think that they could do it all over again even better than before.
