True Love Takes Time Lyrics - John Denver

This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on. 

As I travel down the road and search the empty sky 

Waiting for the moment when my eyes will see 

Many are the memories the mysteries of time 

How they dance around and whisper endlessly 

Yes I've travelled down this road before 

Where so many men have come and gone 

But you know it takes time 

(true love takes time) 

You know that true love takes time 

(true love takes time) 

And it's so very hard to find 

(true love takes time) 

You know that love takes time

It seemed impossible that I could care again 

So it seemed I had forgotten how to give 

What is this miracle that brings me back my dreams 

All at once I can remember how to live 

Yes I've travelled down this road before 

Where so many men have come and gone 

But you know it takes time 

(true love takes time) 

You know that true love takes time 

(true love takes time) 

And it's so very hard to find 

(true love takes time) 

You know that true love takes time 

I have been too much alone for oh so many years 

Looking for someone to sing with me 

Sweet harmony 

Photos 

My heart is open now and tender to the touch 

But there is love enough to heal me in your hands 

I'll give you all my nights 

All my sun and rainy days 

I'll give you all the time it takes to understand 

We've travelled down this road before 

Where so many fools have come and gone 

But you know it takes time 

(true love takes time) 

You know that true love takes time 

(true love takes time) 

And it's so very hard to find 

(true love takes time) 

You know that true love takes time 

(true love takes time) 

(true love takes time) 

(true love takes time)
