Lyrics Love Takes Time (Nashville Mix) - Orleans

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, whoa

Oh, Love takes time
Yes, it's hard to find
Baby, love takes time
Yours and mine, whoa

Oh, love takes time
I said that it's hard to find, yeah, yeah
Love takes time
Yours and mine, whoa

(Love takes time) listen to me, people
(Hard to find) I know it someone will be there
(Love takes time) I know we are talking about
Yours and mine, whoa

(Love takes time) was 'bout to tell you why
(Hard to find) if you want to love
(Love takes time) especially yours
Yours and mine
