'Til I Can Make It on My Own

I'll need time

To get you off my mind

And I may sometimes bother you

Try to be in touch with you

Even ask too much of you

From time to time.



Now and then

Lord, you know I'll need a friend

Til I get to use to losing you

Let me keep on using you

Til I can make it on my own.



I'll get by

But no matter how I try

There'll be times you know I'll call

Chances are my tears will fall

And I'll have no pride at all

From time to time.



But they say

Oh, there'll be a brighter day

But til then I'll lean on you

That's all I mean to do

Til I can make it on my own.



Surely someday I'll wake up and see the morning sun

Without another lonely night behind me

Then I'll know I'm over you

And all my cryin's done

No more hurting memories can find me.



But till then

Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend

Til I get used to losing you

Let me keep on using you

Til I can make it on my own.



Til I can make it on my own...
