Lyrics
Take Some Time
Written by: Veonne Howell
Take Some Time
Written by: Veonne Howell
Take some time to remember
When you first fell in love,
When the ashes were still embers
And the embers were flames.
Take some dreams for tomorrow.
Keep them close to your heart.
Take some laughter for your sorrow.
Find a new place to start.
(Chorus)
Take some time to forgive me
for all my foolish ways.
You might see more clearly
As you turn another page.
Take some fire for the winter.
Keep it for the rainy days.
Don't forget to remember:
It's yours always.
Take some love for the highway
As you wind around the bend.
Keep it in a safe place,
'Til you come home again.
Take some time listen.
Take some time to feel.
Take some time to understand. . .
This love is real.
(Repeat Chorus and fade.)
