Give Me The Time
Bert Jansch
I can build (?) I can sow I can build you a house
Sing like a bird and be quiet like a mouse
I can grow you a flower that you've never seen
I can build you a bridge, babe, I can build you a dream
Just give me the time
With sweet words that rhyme
Give a smile that I can see
In the hope I can be
Your lover
I can give you my heart and the strength of my back
I can give you my love, babe, that I'll never retract
I can find you a sunshine to light up your night
I can bring you excitement, yes, night after night
Just give me the time
With sweet words that rhyme
Give a smile that I can see
In the hope I can be
Your lover
I can play your good man
I could play your sweet prince
I could paint at pretty picture that would make you comment
Just give me your smile or a sign that I can see
For I keep looking at you babe but you never see me
Just give me the time
With sweet words that rhyme
Give a smile that I can see
In the hope I can be
Your lover
I could make the sweet rain fall and bring colour to your cheeks
Or is it sunshine you want, babe, you can have it for weeks
All I want from you, babe, is just a smile that I can see
For I keep looking at you babe, but you never see me
I keep looking at you, babe, but you never see me.
Keep looking at you babe, but you never see me.
