She Needs Time

SHE NEEDS TIME
(Donna Ulisse / Marc Rossi)



SHE’S GOT A HALF ACRE GARDEN SHE KEEPS UP HERSELF
AND TWO LITTLE GRANDKIDS TO RAISE
SHE’S DOIN’ IT ALL WITHOUT ANY HELP
AND SHE’S FEELIN’ HER AGE THESE DAYS
THERE JUST AIN’T ENOUGH HOURS TO GET IT ALL DONE
CANNIN’ AND A CLEANIN’ ALWAYS TENDIN’ SOMEONE
SHE STEALS A MOMENT FOR HERSELF BEFORE THE DAY’S BEGUN
AND TAKES ANOTHER ONE LONG AFTER THE SETTING SUN


CHORUS:
SHE NEEDS TIME, JUST A LITTLE TIME
TO REST HER TIRED SHOULDERS
TO EASE HER WEARY MIND
OH…., SHE NEEDS TIME


SHE’S GOT A HEART AS BIG AS THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
AND HE BROKE IT THE DAY THAT HE DIED
THEY WERE FIFTY TWO YEARS FORTY DAYS AND COUNTIN’
WHEN HE CROSSED TO THE OTHER SIDE
SHE CAN’T HARDLY THINK ABOUT HIM BEING GONE
IF SHE STOPPED TO MISS HIM SHE WOULDN’T LAST LONG
SO SHE KEEPS HERSELF BUSY JUST TO CARRY ON
AND SHE’S LEARNING TO TAKE EACH DAY AS IT COMES


REPEAT CHORUS


BRIDGE:
THERE’LL COME A DAY WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE
AND SHE CAN LEAVE THIS EARTH
BUT HOW CAN SHE GO WITH THE KIDS AND THE GARDEN
AND ALL THIS WORK


REPEAT CHORUS
