I know you want to get into my mind
  But I'm not gonna let you in
  Until I've had the time to begin to know you better
  I know you want to get into my heart
  But I'm not gonna let you in
  Til you've given me the time to heal a wound still bleeding
  
  If you want a love that'll last
  You're moving much to fast
  You gotta take your time, take it day by day
  
  Time will heal me
  Time will heal me
  And babe take your time
  Time will heal
  
  I know you want to get into my mind
  To wash away the hurt and sorrow
  To let me know thaht you are the answer to my question
  The problem is that love is often blind
  It fools you into thinking you're happy
  Then suddenly the mask falls away and leaves you weeping
  
  If you are the promised land
  I've yet to understand
  And while there's room for doubt we take it
  Day by day
  
  Time will heal me
  Time will heal me
  Babe heal me
  And babe take your time
  With you near me
  Time will heal me
  Time will heal me
  I can't say the words you want to hear
  But maybe given time
  
  Time will heal
  The pain I feel inside
  Time will heal
  The hurting and the pride
  Time will heal
  I'll open up my heart to you
  Time will heal
  I'll find the words to say to you
  Time will heal
  The world will see the change in me
  Time will heal
