I'll need time
To get you off my mind,
And I may sometimes bother you,
Try to be in touch with you,
Even ask too much with you,
From time to time

Now and then,
Lord, you know I'll need a friend,
'til I ged used to losing you,
'til I can make it on my own.

I'll get by,
But no matter how I try,
There'll be times you know I'll call,
Chances are my tears will fall,
And I'll have no pride at all,
From time to time.

But they say,
Oh there'll be a brighter day,
But 'til then I'll lean on you,
That's all mean to do,
I can make it on my own.
Surely someday I'll look up,
And see the morning sun,
Without another lonely night behind me,
Then I'll know I'm over you,
And all my crying's done,
no more hurting memories can find me.

But 'til then,
Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend,
'Till I get used to losing you,
Let me keep on using you,
'Till I can make on my own.
'Till I can make on my own
