[ Don Rich ]

It takes a lot of sand for a desert it takes a lot of water for a sea

It takes a lot of lovin' for a baby and it takes a lot of you for me

It takes a lot of sun to warm the springtime it takes a lot of honey for a bee

It takes a lot of heart to write a lovesong and it takes a lot of you for me

Well a river's always looking for an ocean and a lumberjack he looks for a tree

Well I found the one what I was looking for

And it's gonna take a whole lotta you for me

It takes a boat to flow on the water I'm tryin' to tell you darlin' can't you see

It takes a lot of love to keep me happy and it takes a lot of you for me

Oh it takes a lot of you for me

[ dobro - guitar ]

A river's always looking...

Oh it takes a lot of you for me
