One or two moments

a piece of your time

is all I am asking

and I'll give you mine

One or two moments

out of all you have got

to show how I love you

believe it or not

Remember the day

I rolled into town

with my heart in my shoes,

my head hanging down?

Now my only trouble

the rest I forgot

is to show how I love you

believe it or not

Done time in the lockup

Done time in the street

Done time on the upswing

and time in defeat

I know what I'm asking

and I know it's a lot

when I say that I love you

believe it or not

I know I'm no angel

my prospects are high

as the flood line in summer

when the river's gone dry

but I'll roll up my shirt-sleeves

and make my best shot

to show how I love you

believe it or not

Right now while the sun shines

on the crest of the hill

with a breeze in the pines

and a gray whippoorwill

making music together

in a land time forgot

let me show how I love you

believe it or not
