Hey misery, please won't you go
And throw away the ideals in your head
These notions that have led
To you constantly lamenting what you've done
Accept it now that you are not the one
While respect is all but gone
Please, make the right decision
For your own sake you must listen
Take your time today
There's no hurry, you can wait a while
If only for a smile
Take your time today
There's no hurry, you can wait a while
If only for a smile
♪
Reach out friend, embrace the things you love
Ignore them now and you'll be sure to hear
A distant sound come near
Don't ask for whom the bell rings, don't you know
Their peeling isn't such a mystery?
This familiar melody
So have you decided
To change your worn out mind then?
Take your time today
There's no hurry, you can wait a while
If only for a smile
Take your time today
There's no hurry, you can wait a while
If only for a smile
I've been staring at you thinking
That you have no recollection of
A sunny sky above
Your face is it's own reminder
In tomorrow you must find a way
By leaving yesterday
Take your time today
There's no hurry, you can wait a while
If only for a smile
Take your time today
There's no hurry, you can wait a while
If only for a smile

Take your time today (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take your time today
