To Take a Lot of You for Me

(Don Rich)



It takes a lot of sand for a desert

It takes a lot of water for a sea

It takes a lot of lovin' for a baby

And it takes a lot of you for me.



It takes a lot of sun to warm the springtime

It takes a lot of honey for a bee

It takes a lot of heart to write a lovesong

And it takes a lot of you for me.



Well, a river's always looking for an ocean

And a lumberjack he looks for a tree

Well, I found the one what I was looking for

And it's gonna take a whole lotta you for me.



It takes a boat to float on the water

I'm tryin' to tell you darlin' can't you see

It takes a lot of love to keep me happy

And it takes a lot of you for me.



Oh, it takes a lot of you for me.
