Pa needed a job the classifieds couldn’t find

His bank account had only ten dollars and two dimes

The teller told him he could not borrow the time

So I gave him some of mine

Saying

Take your time

And take some of mine

I’ll make you smile

Through the trials

Take my time

Take my time

Passed for the promotion he worked so hard to get

Fought back the emotions that said he deserved it

He looked for answers in places that yielded no hints

He needed time alone to mend

So I said

Take your time

And take some of mine

I’ll make you smile

Through the trials

Take my time

Take my time

Make decisions without burning bridges

And keep your dignity in tact

There’s no need to hurry and there’s no need to worry

I’ll hold your hand through all of it

Just take your time

And take some of mine

I’ll make you smile

Through the trials (trials)

Take my time

Take my time (take my time)

Take my time
