How can people stand such tears
On what's already been done
And now with t ime just one step behind u s
We've so far yet to run
But there w ill be no more
Disappointed heartaches left for me
My prize is almost won
But those songs of love won't mean the s ame
As when we'd first begun
I wan born a fool for treasure
But it was hidden in the rough
Ah, but when the g old was in my h and
You know I tried for harder stuff
So, a ll hurt a nd down,
You k now I took my love to town
Hoping someone,
Somebody would just call my bluff
But those songs of love won't mean the s ame
As when we'd first begun
You know the world and all of its pleasures
I guess they tempted me far too young
And I know I've been w rong in so many s ongs
That I must just have been right in one
Oh w hat a price t o pay
Ju st for winning this way
Now those songs of l ove won't mean the s ame
As when we'd first begun
As when we'd first begun
