When's the last time we held each other
And let ourselves get lost in one embrace
We're always runnin'
Chasin' our own dreams
How did we get caught up in this race
Have we forgotten
What we came together for
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby nothin'matters more
We gotta make the time it takes
When it comes to me and you
The world can wait
In this crazy life we lead
It's tenderness we need
Gonna make the time it takes for love
Conversation, sayin' more then words
We've been keepin' secrets in our hearts
To tell each other how we feel
To understand what's tearin' us apart
Let's go someplace
Far away from here
A little paradise where we can disappear
We gotta make the time it takes
When it comes to me and you
The world can wait
In this crazy life we lead
It's tenderness we need
Gonna make the time it takes for love
We gotta make the time it takes
When it comes to me and you
The world can wait
In this crazy life we lead
It's tenderness we need
Gonna make the time it takes for love
