If these subtle moments that we've shared are true 

They might be the building blocks for me and you 

Don't be discouraged if I don't hold you tight 

Cause I'm gonna miss you when I leave tonight 



And you'll ask me, “Why don't you love me?” 

And I'll try so hard to explain 

And I'll just smile my dear and I'll tell you, 

“These things take time…oh these things take time” 



All these things take time don't you know 

Love is always best when it's slow. 



I'm setting my watch to get this timing right 

Before I love you at the speed of light 

Don't come unglued if all this wait seems unfair 

Cause you'll be the first to know when we are there 



And you'll ask me, “Why don't you love me?” 

And I'll try so hard to explain 

And I'll just smile my dear and I'll tell you 

“These things take time…oh these things take time” 



All these things take time. Don't you know 

Love is always best when it's slow
