I need time
To get you off my mind
And I may sometimes bother you
Try to be in touch with you
Even ask to much of you from time to time

Now and then
Lord you know I'll need a friend
Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
Til I can make it on my own

I'll get by
But no matter how I try
There be times I will call
Chances are my tears will fall
and I'll have no pride at all
From time to time

But they say
Oh there will be brighter days
But til then I'll lean you
Thats all I need to do
Til I can make it on my own

Surely one day
I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you
and all my crying's done
No more hurting memories can find me

But til then
Lord you know I'm going to need a friend
Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
Til I can make it on my own
