Time, Love And Tenderness
Michael Bolton · Other Songs - Michael Bolton
Love left you cryin'
And you say all your hope is gone
And what's the use in tryin'
What you need is to have some faith
Shake off those sad blues
Get yourself a new view, oh
Nothing is as sadas it seems you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
Somehow you'll get through the heartache
Somehow you can get through the rain
CHORUS:
When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing cures a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
When you think your world is over
Baby, just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tendrness
I understand how you're feelin' now
And what you've been through
But your world's gonna turn around
So, baby, don't you be blue
All it takes is a little time
To make it better
The hurt won't last forever, oh
All the tears you are gonna dry you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
You may be down on your luck
But baby that old luck's gonna change
CHORUS
Baby, oh baby, you just need some
You just need some
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
The hurt ain't gonna last forever
Oooh oooh
Time, love and tendernes
Time, love and tenderness
Baby, it's all you need....
Time, love and tenderness...(repeat)
