I know you want to get into my mind

But I'm not gonna let you in

Until I've had the time to begin to know you better

I know you want to get into my heart

But I'm not gonna let you in

Til you've given me the time to heal a wound still bleeding



If you want a love that'll last

You're moving much to fast

You gotta take your time, take it day by day



Time will heal me

Time will heal me

And babe take your time

Time will heal



I know you want to get into my mind

To wash away the hurt and sorrow

To let me know thaht you are the answer to my question

The problem is that love is often blind

It fools you into thinking you're happy

Then suddenly the mask falls away and leaves you weeping



If you are the promised land

I've yet to understand

And while there's room for doubt we take it

Day by day



Time will heal me

Time will heal me

Babe heal me

And babe take your time

With you near me

Time will heal me

Time will heal me

I can't say the words you want to hear

But maybe given time



Time will heal

The pain I feel inside

Time will heal

The hurting and the pride

Time will heal

I'll open up my heart to you

Time will heal

I'll find the words to say to you

Time will heal

The world will see the change in me

Time will heal
