If you'll only give me time
All the heartache that he left behind
Will fade from my mind
I'll be free to love again

If you'll only give me time
I'll forget I even knew his name
Forget that he came
I'll be no good till I can
Try to understand
But when I'm sure
I need him no more
That's when I'll reach out for your hand

So darling, give me time
And you will see that I'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me
Wait a while
'Til I can find my smile
And I'll be yours for as long as I live
If you'll only give me time, yeah

So darling, give me time
And you will see that I'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me, oh
Wait a while
'Til I can find my smile
And I'll be yours for as long as I live
If you'll only give me time
