lyrics

Don't, honey don't, go away
Do you hear, do you hear, what I say?
Give me time, give me time
To make your love as strong as mine
But honey, Rome wasn't built in a day

Now, you know that I love you dear with all my heart
I'm sorry that you didn't love me from the start
But I planted a lil' seed in your heart, I know
And it just needs time to grow!

Don't, honey don't, go away
Do you hear, don't you hear, what I say?
Give me time, some sweet time
To make your love as strong as mine
But honey, Rome wasn't built in a day

How would Romeo feel if his Juliet
Had turned down his advances and played 'hard to get'?
No he wouldn't have let it bother him, this I know
Because where there's life there's hope

Don't, honey don't, go away
Do you hear, do you hear, what I say?
Give me time, give me some sweet time
To make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
