Taking My Time

I'm taking my time (taking my time)
Just letting those waves wash on by (waves wash on by)
I'm taking my time (taking my time)
Feeling my head touch the sky

Always in a hurry, never had a moment to spend
Couldn't feel the sun, couldn't feel the wind
Gnawed by doubt and worry, never had a second to lend
Couldn't even feel the warmth of lover or friend

Now I'm taking my time (taking my time)
Letting my heart open wide (heart open wide)
I'm taking my time (taking my time)
Walking with love by my side

I'll open my heart to the sunshine, the bluster of wind and rain
Know the depths of laughter, joy and pain
Taking my part in creation, to wonder again and again
At the breadth, the life, the love from beginning to end

I give you my heart (give you my heart)
My love through both good times and ill (good times and ill)
Each from his part (each from his part)
Let life lead wherever it will

I know that your heart has been broken by a love that you thought was true
Your days are dark and your thoughts are blue
So much pain unspoken, an acean that's drowning you
Grab on to me as you tumble and fall on through

Just give me your hand (give me your hand)
We'll weather the storms that may blow (storms that may blow)
Like trees we will stand (trees we will stand)
We'll let those roots grow and grow

We'll open our hearts to the sunshine, the bluster of wind and rain
Know the depths of laughter, joy and pain
Taking our part in creation, to wonder again and again
At the breadth, the life, the love from beginning to end

I'm taking my time (taking my time)
To let love flow (let love flow)
I'm taking my time (taking my time)
To let love flow (let love flow)
