`til I Can Make It On My Own Lyrics

I'll need time to get you off my mind 

 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 

 And 'till I get used 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 that you'll 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 lean on you, that's all I mean to do, 

 'Til I can make it on my own 

 

 Surely someday I'll look 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 hurtin' memories can find me

 

 But 'til 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.
