It Takes Time Lyrics by Otis Rush

West Chicago Blues

0

In time, baby, I'll get you off my mind
Little by little, watch my love slow down
But, oh yeah, you know what it means to be alone
Today you're laughing, pretty baby, tomorrow you could be crying

You live for today, you leave tomorrow on its own
We got a little child, we should try and make it a home
But, oh, oh yeah, you know what it means to be alone
Today you're laughing, pretty baby, tomorrow you could be crying

[Instrumental Break]

There's an old saying: every dog has its day
The good dogs that run in the back fades away
But, oh yeah, you know what it means to be alone
Today you're laughing, pretty baby, tomorrow you could be crying
