It Takes Time

It takes time

To get your gal to see the light

It takes time

It isn't always love at sight

From the first little glance

Till she's ready for romance

Remember, little man, it takes time

It takes time

To make the coffee percolate

It takes time

To get your gal to set the date

From the first moonlight walk

Till you get the baby talk

Remember, little man, it takes time

Now, Rome wasn't built in a day, they say

Not to mention the Pyramids and Sphinx

It took old Rip Van Winkle all of twenty years

To squeeze the livin' daylights out of forty winks

It takes time

To turn the winter into spring

It takes time

To get the dough and get the ring

From the first little smile

Till you're walkin' down the aisle

Remember, little man, it takes time

Now, Rome wasn't built in a day they say

Not to mention the Pyramids and Sphinx

It took old Rip Van Winkle all of twenty years

To squeeze the livin' daylights out of forty winks

It takes time

To turn the winter into spring

It takes time

To get the dough to get the ring

From the first little smile

Till you're walkin' down the aisle

Remember, little man, it takes time
