Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra - It Takes Time lyrics

It takes time To get your gal to see the light It takes time It isn't always love at sight From the first little glance Till she's ready for romance Remember, little man, it takes time It takes time To make the coffee percolate It takes time To get your gal to set the date From the first moonlight walk Till you get the baby talk Remember, little man, it takes time Now, Rome wasn't built in a day, they say Not to mention the Pyramids and Sphinx It took old Rip Van Winkle all of twenty years To squeeze the livin' daylights out of forty winks It takes time To turn the winter into spring It takes time To get the dough and get the ring From the first little smile Till you're walkin' down the aisle Remember, little man, it takes time Now, Rome wasn't built in a day they say Not to mention the Pyramids and Sphinx It took old Rip Van Winkle all of twenty years To squeeze the livin' daylights out of forty winks It takes time To turn the winter into spring It takes time To get the dough to get the ring From the first little smile Till you're walkin' down the aisle Remember, little man, it takes time
