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
