Give Me Some Time
Dan Fogelberg · Nether Lands [1977]
Love can wait if you're worried
Then I'll try to ease your mind
You say we're losing time
But I've got to find
A way to convince you
I've got 'cause to be wary
For so long I've had to carry
The weight of another soul
You say, "I won't let go"
But how do you know I can?
Give me some time now
I've just got to find how
I'm going to forget her
And talk myself into believing
That she and I are through
Then maybe I'll fall for you
You're just, just what I've needed
But I'd be unfair and conceited
To say you're the only one
Woman, I'm on the run
From something I have begun
And can't seem to finish
Although it hasn't been recent
I still think it wouldn't be decent
To let you believe in me so soon
I've got to make you see
What she meant to me, so please
Give me some time now
I've just got to find how
I'm going to forget her
And talk myself into believing
That she and I are through
Then maybe I'll fall for you
Give me some time now
I've just got to find how
I'm going to forget her
And talk myself into believing
That she and I are through
Then maybe I'll fall for you
Maybe I'll fall for you
Maybe I'll fall for you
Then maybe I'll fall for you
Maybe I'll fall for you
Maybe I'll fall for you
Maybe I'll fall for you
Maybe I'll fall for you
For you, for you
For you, for you, for you
