Take Five Lyrics - Time Out - Dave Brubeck

Won't you stop and take 

A little time out with me 

Just take five 

Stop your busy day 

And take the time out 

To see if I'm alive 

Though I'm going out of my way 

Just so I can pass by each day 

Not a single word do we say 

It's a pantomime and not a play 

Still, I know our eyes often meet 

I feel tingles down to my feet 

When you smile, that's much too discreet 

Sends me on my way 

Wouldn't it be better 

Not to be so polite 

You could offer a light 

Start a little conversation now 

It's alright, just take five 

Just take five 

Though I'm going out of my way 

Just so I can pass by each day 

Not a single word do we say 

It's a pantomime and not a play 

Still, I know our eyes often meet 

I feel tingles down to my feet 

When you smile, that's much too discreet 

Sends me on my way 

Wouldn't it be better 

Not to be so polite 

You could offer a light 

Start a little conversation now 

It's alright, just take five 

Just take five
