'Til I Can Make It On My Own

I'll need time

To get you off my mind

And I may sometimes bother you,

Try to be in touch with you

Even ask too much of you,

From time to time

Now and then,

Lord, you know I'll need a friend

'Til I get used to losing you,

Let me keep on using you

'Til I can make it on my own

I'll get by,

But no matter how I try

There'll be times you'll know I'll call

Chances are

My tears will fall

And I'll have no pride at all

From time to time

But they say,

Oh, there'll be a brighter day

But 'til then I lean on you,

That's all I mean to do

'Til I can make it on my own

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun

Without another lonely night behind me

Then I'll know I'm over you

And all my cryin's done

And no more hurtin' memories

Will find me

But 'til then,

Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend

'Til I get used to losing you,

Let me keep on using you

'Til I can make it on my own

'Til I can make it on my own
