“Take Your Time” is a song co-written by Buddy Holly, and the B-side of his 1958 hit, “Rave On!“. Paul McCartney and Denny Laine recorded the song for Denny’s 1977 cover album of Holly’s songs, “Holly Days“.
Take your time
I can wait
For all the love I know will be mine
If you take your time
Take your time,
though it's late
Heart strings will sing like a string of twine
If you take your time
Take your time
and take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time
go with me through
Times 'till all times end
Take your time
I can wait
For all the love I know will be mine
If you take your time
Take your time
and take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time
go with me through
Times 'till all times end
Take your time
I can wait
For all the love I know will be mine
If you take your time

Paul McCartney: Music Is Ideas. The Stories Behind the Songs (Vol. 1) 1970-1989
With 25 albums of pop music, 5 of classical – a total of around 500 songs – released over the course of more than half a century, Paul McCartney's career, on his own and with Wings, boasts an incredible catalogue that's always striving to free itself from the shadow of The Beatles. The stories behind the songs, demos and studio recordings, unreleased tracks, recording dates, musicians, live performances and tours, covers, events: Music Is Ideas Volume 1 traces McCartney's post-Beatles output from 1970 to 1989 in the form of 346 song sheets, filled with details of the recordings and stories behind the sessions. Accompanied by photos, and drawing on interviews and contemporary reviews, this reference book draws the portrait of a musical craftsman who has elevated popular song to an art-form.
