Give A Little Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 1993

When she comes,
It?s like pillows on the wind,
Not a care, tossed from here to there.
What he knows are secrets,
No one dares.
It?s a briar path, of old wounds,
And long forgotten sins.

Pre-Chorus:
Nobody knows the outcome,
Will he stay? Will she go?
Should know by now,
If it?s the right one.
But don?t roses lie and wait,
Beneath the fallen snow?

Chorus:
Give a little time,
Give a little love,
Think how desert blooms,
After the rains,
It would not be the same,
If they came too soon.
Give a little heart,
Share a little soul,
It?s become a lost art,
Just watchin? things grow.

Verse 2:

Time will tell,
If this flame is strong enough.
It doesn?t seem,
As easy as they say in the magazines.
But if it?s right,
It will lead them back to stay,
The soul is often wiser,
If left to lead the way.
