It took less than a minute No words got in the way The telephone clicked, ooh it was finished And I never even saw your face It takes less than a minute For years to slip away And it takes more, more than memories To make it through the day Everyday is a brand new test for our love to survive In a world that can be so mean We're gonna have to fight to save our dreams And just to keep our love alive It takes two hearts committed For love to turn out right And it takes more, more baby than memories To make it through the night It's gonna take you touchin' me and me holding you Every, yes, every, everyday There's so much good baby, so much good we could do If we don't, if we don't let harsh words get in the way Every minute, every hour as the years go by I'm gonna try with all my might But you know that it takes more, more than memories To make it through the night Oh, it takes more, oh more than memories To make it through the night It takes more, so much more baby than memories To make our love turn out right
