It Takes Time lyrics

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 living daylight 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 walking down the aisle,

Remember, little man, it takes time!
