So you say that you can't go on

Love left you cryin'

And you say all your hope is gone

And what's the use in tryin'

What you need is to have some faith

Shake off those sad blues

Get yourself a new view



Oh, nothing is a sad as it seems, you know

'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache

Someday, you'll laugh at the pain

Somehow you'll get through the heartache

Somehow you can get through the rain



[Chorus:]

When love puts you through the fire

When love puts you through the test

Nothing cures a broken heart

Like time, love and tenderness

When you think your world is over

Baby just remember this

Nothing heals a broken heart

Like time, love and tenderness

Time, love and tenderness



I understand how you're feeling now

And what you've been through

But your world's gonna turn around

So baby don't you be blue

All it takes is a little time

To make it better

The hurt won't last forever



Oh, all the tears are gonna dry you know

'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache

Someday you'll laugh at the pain

You may be down on your luck

But baby that old luck's gonna change



[Chorus]



Baby, oh baby you just need some

You just need some

Time, love and tenderness



Time, love and tenderness

The hurt ain't gonna last forever

Time, love and tenderness

Time, love and tenderness



[Chorus]



Baby, oh baby all you need

All you need is time, love and tenderness
