Lyrics
Time will take care of everything
There's no need to rush and get myself a worry
Well, I tell you, time will take care of everything
All I've got to do is keep my head together
Well, well
I know how I would like for things to be (for me, for me, ooh)
Sometimes it seems things are not moving best enough
I wanna get my life together (I wanna get my life together)
I wanna do it right away (I wanna do it right away)
Like a palm of planted seeds, you gotta give it time to grow
And one day, you'll go back, everything will be sowed
(Time will) time will (take care) take care of everything
There's no need to rush and get myself a worry
Well, well
Patience is a virtue, this I know (I know, I know)
Oh, but it's hard to be still
Oh, when you really want to go
Ay, I got things I wanna do (I got things I wanna do)
I got a whole lots of plans (I got a whole lots of plan)
I'm like a brand-new baby, I gotta crawl before I walk
And I'll know the next time, well, a lesson I have been taught
(Time will) time will (take care), it will take care of everything
All I've got to do is keep my head together (keep my head together, together, together)
I tell you, time will take care of everything
There's no need to rush and get myself a worry (get myself a worry)
Ain't no worry about it no more
(Time will take care) time will take care (of everything) everything
(There's no need to rush and) ain't no need to rush and get myself a worry
(Get myself a worry, worry, worry)
I'm gonna take it real slow
I gotta give it time to grow
I'm not gonna rush
No, no, I'm not gonna worry no more
Gonna take it one day at a time (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
'Cause I wanna keep my peace of mind (ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh) I'm not gonna get upset
No, I'm not gonna worry no more
Let me tell you, because minutes make hours (ooh-ooh)
And hours make days (ooh-ooh), and days make weeks (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And weeks make months (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh), and months make years, and years
And that's a long time for us to begin, and time will take care of all my worries
(Time will take care) and all of my moves (of everything)
Time will take care of everything (all I've got to do is)
All you got to do, all you got to do (get myself together, together, together)
Is just wait on time (get myself together, together, together)
Time will take care of everything
(Time will) yes, it will (take care), it will take care of everything (of everything)
(All I've got to do is) all you got to do, all you got to do
All you got to do is keep yourself together (get myself together, together, together)
Well (get myself together, together, together), together
(Time will) will take care, take care of everything
(All I've got to do is) ain't no need to worry about it
I just wait on it, I just wait on it (get myself together, together, together)
I just wait on it, I just wait on it
