O.V. Wright — A Little More Time

[Intro] I'd like to take just a little of your time today To try to express to you the way that I feel About just a few great men of our time People like the late, great Sam Cook I know you remember him And I know you also remember the late, great Otis Redding Known to so many as "The Big O" And the man that, if you’re listening to your radio And watching your TV And reading your newspaper You can see right now where he's celebrating his 50th anniversary With a beautiful album A great man, a great orchestra leader Known to us as Guy Lombardo And on a golf course in Spain a few days ago Oh, we lost a man that the whole world loved so well Known as Ben Crosby And my mind begins to run back To [?] Mississippi Where a young man was born Known to us as Elvis Prestley Packed his bags one day And decided that he would make his way to Memphis, Tennessee And when he got here, he didn't stop He began to work so hard He traveled from place to place All around the world And if he knew then that he had to leave us I believe he would’ve set out with his paper and pen And if he had one word to say I believe it would be this [Verse 1] Everything I do, I try to do it good Oh, I had lots of fun, and I've done the best I could Someone call my name, I think it's a crying shame 'Cause I need, I need I need just a little more time Oh yeah, I need just a little more time [Verse 2] If I had the say, I'd pick another day But I know I've got to go Although I'd love to stay There's a knock upon my door I guess it’s time for me to go But I need, oh, but I need Yo, I need just a little more time Let me say that again ’Cause I need just a little more time [Outro] Oh-hoo-hoo Oh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo I need, I need a little more time (Little more time) But I know it's time for me to go Because there’s a knock on my door But I need, I need a little more time (Little more time) Oh, I've had lots of fun Oh, I've done the best I could But I need, I need a little more time (Little more time) I belive I can sing to somebody I believe I can raise up a bowed down head All I need is a little more time
