Month of Love Songs Challenge Day 20

Song: You Can't Hurry Love

Artist: Phil Collins

Wow, is this song appropriate for all the singles of the world!! "The Single Person's Anthem" am I right? Man, there are some days I feel so overwhelmed and depressed about being single. I feel so ugly and unlovable and pathetic. And then there are days I feel ok about it knowing I'm not ready for it. But being a hopeless romantic, it really is painful at times! I guess, as the song says, you really "can't hurry love, you just have to wait, no love don't come easy." I pray that God has someone special in this world for me and that I will have the patience and faith to believe that he will bring us together in his timing.

I need love, love
Ooh, to ease my mind
And I need to find her, someone to call mine
My mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Well it's a game of give and take

You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in the good time
No matter how long it takes

But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love?
To let me live again?
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, Oooh
It's almost gone
I remember mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
And It's a game of give and take

How long must I wait
How much more must I take?
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?

No I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
Well these precious words keeps me hangin' on
I remember mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
When it's a game of give and take

You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust, in the good time
No matter how long it takes and I'll break!

Now, love, love it don't come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting, ooooh
Until that day
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy
You know it ain't easy
But my mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
But it's a game of give and take

[repeat and fade]

HAPPY LOVE MONTH!
