LOVE’S LESSON LEARNED
by Bob Leggett

When I was young, I thought I knew it all
I wouldn’t listen that I was headed for a fall
Until that day, when you came into my life
And the next thing that I knew, I had made you my wife

CHORUS
It was just a love’s lesson learned
I never saw it coming, ‘til the day that I was burned
Loving you was hard, but afterwards it turned
Into a Love’s Lesson Learned.

We started off with children, nine months down the road
I’d never have imagined, how they added to the load
But the things my children taught me, in their own special way
Were ultimately priceless, and I’m thankful for the day

CHORUS
It was just a love’s lesson learned
I found it through the places, where my heart made me yearn
I never saw it coming, never thought that it would turn
Into a Love’s Lesson Learned

Love slowly turned to hatred , and my life turned to hell
How can you be so taken, by someone you once knew well
But looking back I’m finding, despite the agony I knew
The fact that I needed this, for with my pain, I grew

BRIDGE
Life gives us many chances to learn its lessons well
We can either learn them, and make it worth the hell
Or we can be hard-headed, and do the same old thing
That didn’t work out for us, and miss just what life brings

CHORUS
They are just love’s lessons learned
You’ll find them when you’re happy, and even when you’re burned
The fact is we’re all students, so let your hurts be turned
Into a love’s lesson learned.
