Nothing is impossible
A great theme for this week by which can be applied to many, many areas in life, work, hobbies, relationships, and love itself, of course.
My song by The Supremes, which was first released in 1966, is a firm favourite of mine, which I have played many times live, although, not so much lately; that clearly needs to be corrected..
I am very pleased, that I get a chance to match it to this week's theme, because for me it fits perfectly: it is never impossible to find love in life, no matter when that might be.
As Mama says, you can't hurry it, you just have to wait and be patient, even if there are some heartaches on the way!
Being an 80s girl I am more attached to the Phil Collins version, which was a hit in 1983; he was better looking too for sure. 😄
I have added a bit of a percussive strumming to match that version and because people used to start clapping in the tiny gap before the final verse.. So hopefully, they'll hold off a little longer in future.. lol
Anyway, hope, you like this one!!
Thanks everyone!
Lyrics
I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said you can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You gotta trust, give it 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 hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone
I remember mama said
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait? How much more can 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
These precious words keeps me hanging on
I remember mama said
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes (gotta wait)
No love, love 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, I keep on waiting (give and take)
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy when mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
Mama said just give it time
