7. Make time for love

 

I think a lot of people today put work commitments before family and friends.

They’re simply far too busy! Priorities all wrong! I’m guilty your honour!

 

1G              C            D                                         G

You're too busy, counting all the ripples in the sea,

     Em                               C

Running round in circles needlessly,

      D                                     G

Making all those plans so easily.

                     C

And you're swimming,

     D                                             G

floundering in a whirlpool all the time,

      Em                                      C

Racing like a fish to catch the line,

                    Am

While the grains of sand are falling

 

in this hourglass of mine…

    D                   G

Make time for love,

    D                   G

Make time for love

 

                  C           D                                                 G

You're too busy, thinking that by rushing here and there,

    Em                                                 C

Power'd by highest motives built on care,

           D                                                     G

That you'll achieve perfection, climb the stairs.

                     C       D                                           G

And your children, all like buried treasure oh so rare,

 

   Em                                             C  

One day soon will not be waiting there,

               Am

And the sand within the hourglass is descending through the air…

    D                  G          

Make time for love,

   D                   G    

 make time for love.

 

                  C               D                                                    G

There's a hundred, a thousand things in life still to be done,

        Em                                                       C

But all these things just can't be done by 'one'

     D                                                     G

So still the racing clouds… and see the sun,

                   C           D                                        G

Catch the blossom, now before it gently fades away.

    Em                                            C

Smell its perfume let it have its say,

    Am                      

Who have you neglected in your race of life today?

   D                    G

Make time for love,

   D                   G

make time for love.  :]
