ORLEANS - Love Takes Time with Lyrics

"Love Takes Time" is a song by the soft rock band Orleans. It peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1979 and was their biggest hit since their 1976 single "Still the One." The song also reached number 13 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. In Canada, "Love Takes Time" peaked at #23 for two weeks.

Great song, perfect in every way. 70s best time, memories and music!

How true this song is! And performed so well. How did this group have so few hits? Only 3 real hits, this one, "Dance With Me" and "Still the One." A shame they didn't do better.

This track was released during my freshman year in high school ((1978-79). I knew from the moment it debuted on radio it was going to be a hit.
