It took less than a minute
No words got in the way
The telephone clicked, ooh, it was finished
And I never even saw your face

It takes les than a minute
For years to slip away
And it takes more, more than memories
To make it through the day

Every day is a brand new test for our love to survive
In a world that can be so mean
We're gonna have to fight to save our dreams
And just to keep our love alive

It takes two hearts committed
For love to turn out right
And it takes more, more, baby, than memories
To make it through the night

It's gonna take you touching me and me holding you
Every, yes, every, every day
There's so much good, baby, so much good we could do
If we don't, if we don't let hard words get in the way

Every minute, every hour, as the years go by
I'm gonna try with all my might
But you know that it takes more, more than memories
To make it through the night

Oh, it takes more, oh, more than memories
To make it through the night
It takes more, so much more, babe, than memories
To make our love turn out right
