How can people stand such tears
On what's already been done
And now with time just one step behind us
We've so far yet to run
But there will be no more
Disappointed heartaches left for me
My prize is almost won
But those songs of love won't mean the same
As when we'd first begun
I wan born a fool for treasure
But it was hidden in the rough
Ah, but when the gold was in my hand
You know I tried for harder stuff
So, all hurt and down,
You know I took my love to town
Hoping someone,
Somebody would just call my bluff
But those songs of love won't mean the same
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 wrong in so many songs
That I must just have been right in one
Oh what a price to pay
Just for winning this way
Now those songs of love won't mean the same
As when we'd first begun
As when we'd first begun
