In the time it takes to tell you I could show you In the time it takes to wonder You could know Everything inside my heart Waiting for this dance to start All you gotta do All you gotta do is let go... In the time it takes to want me You can have me And you'd never have to ask how much I care Love for me is not some game Any time you call my name I'll be there Like a star that's traveled years to shine Like a song that wants to hear the rhyme In the time it takes In the time it takes Like a spark that makes your soul ignite Only love knows when the moments right In the time it takes In the time it takes Nothing I wouldn't give Knowing I couldn't live without you And if I get my wish Heavens gonna help me Heavens gonna make you mine (Repeat Chorus)
