Give Me Time

Minnie Riperton


Seconds pass so very fast 
I was watching perfect time 
let me share each day with you 
love you thru the sands of time 

Time is precious to so few 
love is rare and hard to find 
Won't you take this hand of mine 
Love and spand the hands of time 

Yes, time is a treasure that we cannot buy 
Time measures a life and I don't know why 
My Love, before I met you I could not give 
Then you touched my heart 
and you taught me to live 
You are the sun, gentle and warm 
You make my life complete 
Give me time to show what you mean to me 

Time is you, don't you see 
I need you to give me time 
To show what you mean to me
