Take Your Time
by Gordon Lee Worden (2012)

I would do anything for you
Live only to see your dreams come true
If I had my way, your every day would be just beautiful

The tender heart that beats inside
Longs to take you far and wide
My little girl’s all grown up
Right before my eyes

(Chorus) Take a second to say goodbye, say goodbye
Life can turn on a dime
In a hurry to say goodbye, say goodbye
Once you’ve made up your mind that you’re ready to say goodbye, say goodbye
You don’t wanna waste your time
Go on and take your time

Now the story of your life feels like it’s hung up on page five
Another day in this town could bury you alive
There’s rumours about some kids who died
Forever young, forever high
And there is nothing as sad as destiny denied

(Chorus) It takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye
Life can turn on a dime
In a hurry to say goodbye, say goodbye
Once you’ve made up your mind that you’re ready to say goodbye, say goodbye
You don’t wanna waste your time
Go on and take your time

Guitar solo

I see you staring into space, I see something different in your face
And I know that someone else has notice that you’re beautiful.…

(Chorus) And I don’t want you to say goodbye, say goodbye
Life can turn on a dime
In a hurry to say goodbye, say goodbye
Once you’ve made up your mind that you’re ready to say goodbye, say goodbye
You don’t wanna waste your time
Go on and take your time
