If We Take the Time

words and music by Mike Russell (ascap) and Richard Melvin Brown (socan)

If I took the time to say
Just how much I care
Would you take the time to listen
Would you even know that I was there

If I took the time to trust again
To open up my heart
Would it make the slightest difference
To two souls who now just drift apart

CHORUS:

If we could just recapture
The love we thought could be
If we could stop this game we’re playing
Could we ever see
that we don't have to say goodbye
If we just take the time

If I became the person
You always thought I’d be
If I learned to say the words again
that suddenly would bring you back to me

If you could only see inside my heart
The way you used to do
If you could just believe in two again
In the magic of me and you

CHORUS:

Then we might just recapture
The love we thought could be
If we could just stop this game we’re playing
just maybe we will see
that we don't have to say goodbye
If we just take the time

If I could stop this doubt
that Dominates my heart
And learn to trust in you and me
and give this love a fresh and brand new start

If you could look into my eyes
And see the love that’s there
Believe in what you see again
And truly know how much I care

CHORUS

And then we would recapture
The love that’s hiding there
we would stop this game we’re playing
and we would realize we care
and we don't have to say goodbye
If we just take the time
