'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

Till I get used to losing you

Let me keep on using you

Till I can make it on my own

I'll get by, but no matter how I try

There'll be times you 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 till then I'll lean on you

That's all I mean to do

Till 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 crying's done

No more hurting memories can find me

But till then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend

Till I get used to losing you

Let me keep on using you

Till I can make it on my own

Till I can make it on my own
