Lyrics
Take it when you get it
it's not often that you do
Give it while you have it
no one can ask more of you
There are times when it seems like
nothing ever could go wrong
but when it does it can shake you
when you're finding out she's gone
I remember every time we had
can't forget it anymore
sleepless nights waiting for
your gentle tap upon my door
hey don't you know me anymore
you know I'd never do you wrong
but when it gets close like that
then it's so hard moving on
Take it when you get it
no one can ask more of you
give it while you have it
'til it's coming back to you
it's hard to find and when you think you have
it's not often that it's true
but when it happens to you
then nothing else could ever do
