Give Me The Time - Bert Jansch

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.
