IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME
(Pavey / Richardson)

as recorded by Maureen Evans
1967


It takes a little time to find the one you really love,
Takes a little time to know the one you're certain of.
If you believe that your dreams should come true right away,
Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day!

It takes a little time until you know that it's for sure,
Takes a little time and then it's well worth waiting for!
For every cloud in the sky passes by up above,
Your heart's way up high and you know you're in love,
You're in love, you're in love, you're in love!

It takes a little time before the winter turns to spring,
It takes a little time before the birds have learnt to sing.
They've got to wait, then to leave for the sun to come through,
The same thing applies when it's me and it's you!

It takes a little time before you start to realise,
It takes a little time, and then and there, before your eyes,
Another world will appear that you've been dreaming of;
It's all very clear and you know you're in love,
You're in love, you're in love, you're in love, you're in love,
You're in love, you're in love, you're in love!
You're in love, you're in love, you're in love...  You're in love, you're in love...
