A Little More Time
[Intro]
I'd like to take just a little of your time today
To try to express to you the way that I feel
About just a few great men of our time
People like the late, great Sam Cook
I know you remember him
And I know you also remember the late, great Otis Redding
Known to so many as "The Big O"
And the man that, if you’re listening to your radio
And watching your TV
And reading your newspaper
You can see right now where he's celebrating his 50th anniversary
With a beautiful album
A great man, a great orchestra leader
Known to us as Guy Lombardo
And on a golf course in Spain a few days ago
Oh, we lost a man that the whole world loved so well
Known as Ben Crosby
And my mind begins to run back
To [?] Mississippi
Where a young man was born
Known to us as Elvis Prestley
Packed his bags one day
And decided that he would make his way to Memphis, Tennessee
And when he got here, he didn't stop
He began to work so hard
He traveled from place to place
All around the world
And if he knew then that he had to leave us
I believe he would’ve set out with his paper and pen
And if he had one word to say I believe it would be this
[Verse 1]
Everything I do, I try to do it good
Oh, I had lots of fun, and I've done the best I could
Someone call my name, I think it's a crying shame
'Cause I need, I need
I need just a little more time
Oh yeah, I need just a little more time
[Verse 2]
If I had the say, I'd pick another day
But I know I've got to go
Although I'd love to stay
There's a knock upon my door
I guess it’s time for me to go
But I need, oh, but I need
Yo, I need just a little more time
Let me say that again
’Cause I need just a little more time
[Outro]
Oh-hoo-hoo
Oh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
I need, I need a little more time (Little more time)
But I know it's time for me to go
Because there’s a knock on my door
But I need, I need a little more time (Little more time)
Oh, I've had lots of fun
Oh, I've done the best I could
But I need, I need a little more time (Little more time)
I belive I can sing to somebody
I believe I can raise up a bowed down head
All I need is a little more time
