Carmen McRae & The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five - Single Version Lyrics

Lyrics Take Five - Single Version - Carmen McRae , The Dave Brubeck Quartet



Won't you stop and take a little time out with me,
Just take five;
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see,
I'm alive.
Though I'm going out of my way,
Just so I can pass by each day,
Not a single word do we say,
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still I know our eyes often meet,
I feel tingles down to my feet,
When you smile that's much too discrete,
Sends me on my way.
Wouldn't it be better not to be so polite,
You could offer a light;
Start a little conversation now, it's alright, just take five,
Just take five.
Though I'm going out of my way,
Just so I can pass by each day,
Not a single word do we say,
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still I know our eyes often meet,
I feel tingles down to my feet,
When you smile that's much too discrete,
Sends me on my way.
Wouldn't it be better not to be so polite,
You could offer a light;
Start a little conversation now, it's alright,
Just take five, just take five
Just take five, just take five
