'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 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'll 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 crying's done

No more hurtin' memories can 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
