It Takes Time

(альбом: Johnny Mercer Sings, Volume 2 - 1983)

It takes time
To get your gal to see the light
It takes time
It isn't always love at sight
From the first little glance
'Til she's ready for romance
Remember, oh man, it takes time

It takes time
To make the coffee percolate
It takes time
To get your gal to set the date
From the first moonlight walk
'Til you get the baby talk
Remember, young man, it takes time

Now old father time got a [?]
It didn't grow overnight
Take a look at the head of the glass [?]
Takes a lot of ages 'fore you get it right

It takes time
To turn the Winter into Spring
It takes time
To get the dough to get the ring
From the first little smile
'Til you're walking down the aisle
Remember, oh man, it takes time
