Lyrics
Don't, honey don't, go away
Do you hear, do you hear what I say?
Give me time, give me time
And I'll make your love as strong as mine
But honey Rome wasn't built in a day
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
Now don't you hear me saying don't, honey don't, go away
Do you hear, do you hear what I say?
Give me time, oh, give me time
And I'll 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
He wouldn't have let this bother him, and this I know
Because where there's life, there's hope
Baby don't, baby don't, go away
Don't you hear? I know you hear what I say
Just give me time, just a little more time
I'll make your love as strong as mine
But honey, Rome wasn't built in a day
I know that Rome wasn't built in a day
I know you know the story that Rome wasn't built in a day
Oh-oh, Rome wasn't built in a day
