'til I Can Make It On My Own Lyrics - One Voice - Billy Gilman

I'll need time to get you off my mind 

I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you 

Even ask too much of you, from time to time 

Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend 

And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you, 

'Til I can make it on my own 

I'll get by, but no matter how I try 

There'll be times that you'll know I'll call 

Chances are my tears will fall 

And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time 

But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day 

But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do, 

'Til I can make it on my own 

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun 

Without another lonely night behind me 

Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done 

No more hurtin' memories can find me 

But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend 

'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you 

'Til I can make it on my own.
