Well, I guess you have to learn it all the hard way
 'Cause you never get it right first time around
 Get a little recognition, head for Broadway 
You're spendin' all your love on a paper crown Take it, save it
 'Fore you lose it 
Take it, save it
 'Fore it dies
 Take it, save it
 'Fore you lose it 
Take it, save it
 'Fore it dies And you hide behind your casual conversation 
Thinking that it hides the way you feel
 But you used to have a burning love within you

Now you're not so sure that it was real Love is the first thing you lose
 When you leave it to just how you feel 
Love is the last thing you find
 When you're tellin' your love goodbye When you find the things you do don't mak you happy
 'Cause you're always fallin' short of what you planned
 Well, the loving hand of God is there to guide you
 If you'll only take the time to take his hand
