Give Your Heart a Little Time

Give Your Heart a Little Time is a rather somber Sesame Street song sung to Elmo's cousin Jesse when her father Jack dies, saying that you should not try to speed up the grieving process because that's impossible. (It made me cry when I first saw it).

Lyrics
Louie: I know you miss your dad.

Believe me, we all do.

But sharing the memories.

Will help us through.

'Cause our hearts will just grow fonder

By remembering.

And your love will always find new heights to climb.

When someone you love is gone.

You are always gonna find.

That you need to give your heart a little time.

Jesse, you need to give your heart a little time.

Elmo: Elmo is feeling sad. What should Elmo do, Mommy?

Mae: It helps to talk about

Mae and Jill: Your feelings.

Jill: And when the time is right, a little glimmer of hope shines through.

Mae and Jill: That's when you start to feel the hurt start healing.

Elmo, Jesse, Jill, Louie and Mae:  'Cause families will just grow stronger. When they're needed.

Rosita: And friends are here to help you ease your mind.

All: When someone you love is gone, you are always gonna find.

Jill, Mae and Louie: That you need to give your heart a little time.

Jesse: I miss him so but now I know that I need to give my heart a little time.

Elmo: We need to give our hearts a little time.

All: Yes, we need to give our hearts a little...time.
