It'll Take Time

If you sit and stare on the steps facing the cathedral
No one will think you're strange
After all the years of painters and pilgrims calling
You wouldn't seem out of place
Oh remember, it will take time
It'll take time
If you walk alone in the streets where the tourists gather
No one will think to ask why
You'll be just a face in a world with so many others
That you will find you can hide
Oh remember, it will take time
It'll take time
If you never read the postcard she sent you
No one will think that it's wrong
Words that don't mean much when said by the living
Mean so much more from those who've gone
Oh remember, it will take time
It'll take time
Oh remember, it will take time
It'll take time

City Where You Live

It's almost midnight in the city where you live
So far away from my arms
I should say goodnight and let you get some sleep
Your tomorrow comes sooner than mine
But oh in these few precious moments
We are closer than bodies can be
And oh when you tell me of your dreams
You plant them like seeds in my heart
The stars are so bright in the city where you live
Over here they're still shadowed by blue
At a distance so wide that constellations change
I am praying you'll navigate true
But oh in these few precious moments
I am sure of the places you'll be
And oh when you tell me of your dreams
They flower and leaf in my heart
It's almost midnight in the city where you live
So far away from my arms
I should say goodnight and let you get some sleep
Your tomorrow comes sooner than mine
But oh in these few precious moments
We are closer than bodies can be
And oh when you tell me of your dreams
You plant them like seeds in my heart

All of the love songs I know
Start off with strangers alone staring into the dark
Waiting around for a hint of a spark to hang their hats on
And it happens that
All of these poor lonely souls
Find out before it's all over that there's someone there
Hoping as they do that someone will care for them forever
But I don't need love songs when I have you
Darling it may be hard to believe but it's true
Hearts can hold so many more than just two
And I may belong to somebody new
Then again so do you
Doesn't mean that we're through
Doesn't mean that I'll ever stop loving you
All of the love songs I know
End with an overblown show of the progress they've made
All of the hands held and kisses exchanged
The vows and babies
And I feel weird that
We'll never have such a thing
There's not a song I can sing where the characters part
Still holding on the other one's heart
Agreed to be leaving
But I don't need love songs when I have you
Darling it may be hard to believe but it's true
Hearts can hold so many more than just two
And I may belong to somebody new
Then again so do you
Doesn't mean that we're through
Doesn't mean that I'll ever stop loving you
Doesn't mean that I'll ever stop loving you
