Doris Day It Takes Time Lyrics

It Takes Time Lyrics

It takes time
To get your gal to see the light
It takes time
It isn't
always love at sight
From the first little glance
'Til she's ready for
romance
Remember, little man, it takes time

It takes time
To make
the coffee percolate
It takes time
To get your gal to set the
date
From the first moonlight walk
'Til you get the baby
talk
Remember, little man, it takes time

Now, Rome wasn't built in a
day they say
Not to mention the Pyramids and Sphinx
It took old Rip Van
Winkle all of twenty years
To squeeze the livin' daylights out of forty
winks

It takes time
To turn the Winter into Spring
It takes
time
To get the dough to get the ring
From the first little smile
'Til
you're walkin' down the aisle
Remember, little man, it takes
time

(Bridge)

It takes time
To make the coffee percolate
It
takes time
To get your gal to set the date
From the first moonlight
walk
'Til you get the baby talk
Remember, little man, it takes
time

Now, Rome wasn't built in a day they say
Not to mention the
Pyramids and Sphinx
It took old Rip Van Winkle all of twenty years
To
squeeze the livin' daylights out of forty winks

It takes time
To turn
the Winter into Spring
It takes time
To get the dough to get the
ring
From the first little smile
'Til you're walkin' down the
aisle
Remember, little man, it takes time
