Carmen Mcrae Take Five
Won’t you stop and take a little time out with me, just
take five;
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see I’m
alive.
Though I`m going out of my way,
Just so I can pass by each day,
Not a single word do we say,
It`s a pantomime and not a play
Still I know our eyes often meet,
I feel tingles down to my feet,
when you smile that’s much too discreet,
sends me on my way.
Wouldn’t it be better not to be so polite, you could
offer a light;
Start a little conversation now, it’s alright, just
take five, just take five.
