Sam Cooke - Rome (wasn't built in a day) lyrics

rate me

(chorus)

Don't, honey don't go away, no no

Don't you hear, don't you hear

what I say? what I say

Give me time, give me time

I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine

But I know Rome wasn't built in a day

Now you know that I love you, dear with all my heart

I know that you didn't love from the start

That I'm planting a little seed in your heart, I know

and it just needs time to grow, baby

(chorus)

Listen to me, honey now

How would Romeo feel if his Juliet

Had turned down his advances and played hard-to-get

He wouldn't have let this bother him, I know

Because where there's life, there's hope

(chorus)

Don't you hear me tellin' you that Rome wasn't built in a day

Don't you realize that Rome wasn't built in a day
