"A Little Time For Us" lyrics

A Little Time For Us

Time is a river
That rolls on forever
But it always runs dry
When we try to get together
Living our lives for
These all nine-to-five's
But I ain't gonna take it no more

If I have to beg, steal or borrow
Forget about tomorrow
Starting tonight
I'm gonna take back the hours
That used to be ours
It's the only way love can survive
Lord knows that I ain't
Asking for much
Just a little time for us

You going your way
Me going mine
And time for each other
Is getting harder to find
It's just not enough
Time left for love
And, baby, you know that ain't right

If I have to beg, steal or borrow
Forget about tomorrow
Starting tonight
I'm gonna take back the hours
That used to be ours
It's the only way love can survive
Lord knows that I ain't
Asking for much
Just a little time for us
Just a little time for us

Love ain't got a chance
In a race against time
Everybody knows it can't fly
If we're gonna win it
We're gotta steal every minute
So it's time we made up our minds

Beg, steal or borrow
Forget about tomorrow
Starting tonight
Take back the hours
That used to be ours
It's the only way love can survive
Lord knows that we ain't
Asking for much
Just a little time for us
Just a little time for us
Just a little time
For us
