I Let Love Slip Away - David Ruffin

I let love slip away

Now all that I can say

Is here’s a toast to a better day

And a love that will come and stay

And keep me happy

Love, oh love, wherever you are

I call on you near or far

Hurry love, soon as you can

Oh honey, in the shape I’m in

And make me happy

Love, oh love, oh love, oh love, oh love

Be as sweet and as kind as a dove

Please, fly down, fly down, from up above

Take my hand, honey now

I want your love

And I hold you tight

With all of my might

Now I sit back to wait (oh)

I pray that you don’t make me too late

Hurry love, hurry love, as soon as you can, honey

And help me in the shape I’m in, and make me happy

Hurry love, hurry love, and mend the shape I’m in

Hurry love and make me happy

Hurry love and keep me happy, dear (oh)
