Orleans - Love Takes Time lyrics

I saw a twinkle in her eye
It lit a fire deep inside
But it burned so wild and strong
I knew it wouldn't last for long

'Cause love takes time
And it's hard to find
You gotta take some time to let love grow

I saw a shooting star go by
It blazed a path across the sky
But the beauty did not last, no
Some things just happen all too fast

But love takes time and it's hard to find
You gotta take some time
To let love grow, whoa

Well, some think love's a game
You play for a night or two
But I think that's a shame
'Cause I know that in the end
They're bound to lose

Love takes time yes, it's hard to find
You gotta take some time
To let love grow (Love takes time)
Oh, love takes time
I said that it's hard to find
Oh, just take your time and love will grow

If we really want our love to grow
We gotta take it slow, oh, whoa

Love takes time yes, it's hard to find
Baby, love takes time yours and mine
Whoa, love takes time
I said that it's hard to find
Yeah, yeah, love takes time yours and mine
Love takes time (Listen to me, people)
Hard to find (No, it don't come easy)
Love takes time
You know I'm talkin' 'bout yours and mine
Oh, love takes time
(It's bound to take a while)
Hard to find (If you want it to last)
Love takes time especially yours and mine
