[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I'm sure I need him no more
That's when I'll reach out for your hand

[Chorus]
So, darling, give me time
And you will see that I'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me
Wait awhile
Till I can find my smile
And I'll be yours for as long as I live
If you'll only give me time, yeah
[Instrumental Break]

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