Take It for Granted Boz Scaggs

Take it for granted
You're making a mistake
Take it for what it is
But take it for God's sake

Take it from me
Lonely as can be
I'd love to
But I never dared to
If only I could make you see

Once a man stood by a wall
And watched his love across the beach
And though her loveliness could warm his heart
Her lips he could not reach

And nothing would he do
Nothing would he say
He just keeps it all inside himself
And saves it for another day

Then he heard a song
Sweetly over the wall
Singing its better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
