Time Takes Care Of A Few Things Lyrics

Tom T. Hall Time Takes Care Of A Few Things

Time takes care of a few things, love takes care of the rest
Cheer up, my lady, cheer up, my friend
There's no reason for you to look so depressed
I'd like to be perfect, I know you would too, we're only human, I guess
Time takes care of a few things, love takes care of the rest

Life has its problems, they come and they go
When troubles are dropped at you door
I'll come and get some and haul them away
That's what an imperfect good friend is for

Time takes care of a few things, love takes care of the rest
Cheer up, my lady, cheer up, my friend
There's no reason for you to look so depressed
I'd like to be perfect, I know you would too, we're only human, I guess
Time takes care of a few things, love takes care of the rest

We're trying each day to be better
Some way to do what life asks us to do
It's just a contest, it's just a trap
You're better than me and I'm better than you
Time takes care of a few things, love takes care of the rest
