Time Takes Care of a Few Things

(Tom T. Hall)



Time takes care of a few things

Love takes care of the rest.

Cheer up my lady cheer up my friend

There's no reason for you to look so depressed

I'd like to be perfect I know you would too, we're only human I guess

Time takes care of a few things love takes care of the rest.



Life has its problems they come and they go

When troubles are dropped at you door

I'll come and get some and haul them away

That's what an imperfect good friend is for.



Time takes care of a few things

Love takes care of the rest.

Cheer up my lady cheer up my friend

There's no reason for you to look so depressed

I'd like to be perfect I know you would too, we're only human I guess

Time takes care of a few things love takes care of the rest.

We're trying each day to be better some way

To do what life asks us to do

It's just to contest it's just a trap

You're better than me and I'm better than you

Time takes care of a few things love takes care of the rest...
