Lyrics
Take Five
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Won´t you stop and take a little time
Out with me
Just take five
Just take five.
So stop your busy day and take a time
Out to see
That i´m alive,
That i´m alive.
And though i´m going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It´s a pantomine, I'm out of time
Still I know all eyes are for me
I feel tingles down to my feet
When your smile gets much to discreet
Sending me on my way.
Now wouldn´t it be better
Not to be so polite
If you could offer a light
So start a little conversation now
It´s alright
Just take five,
Just take five.
