Hard Love - Tony Rice |
| [00:07.53] |
Well I remember growing up |
| [00:09.47] |
Like it was only yesterday |
| [00:13.29] |
Mom and Daddy tried their |
| [00:15.44] |
Best to guide me on my way |
| [00:18.57] |
But the hard times and the |
| [00:20.56] |
Liquor drove the easy love away |
| [00:24.21] |
And the only love |
| [00:25.65] |
I knew about was hard love |
| [00:32.83] |
Well it was hard love |
| [00:35.55] |
Every hour of the day |
| [00:38.05] |
When Christmas to my birthday |
| [00:40.72] |
Was a million miles away |
| [00:43.70] |
And the fear that came between |
| [00:45.85] |
Them drove the tears into my play |
| [00:49.23] |
There was love in daddy's |
| [00:50.88] |
House but it was hard love |
| [00:57.74] |
Well I recall the gentle courtesy |
| [01:00.61] |
You showed me as I tried |
| [01:03.27] |
To dissemble in politeness all |
| [01:06.54] |
The love I felt inside |
| [01:09.00] |
And for every song of laughter |
| [01:11.56] |
There was another song that cried |
| [01:14.52] |
This ain't no easy weekend |
| [01:17.24] |
This is hard love |
| [01:23.18] |
Well it was hard love |
| [01:25.86] |
Every step of the way |
| [01:28.82] |
Hard to be so close to |
| [01:30.85] |
You and hard to turn away |
| [01:34.24] |
And when all the stars and |
| [01:35.94] |
Sentimental songs dissolved the day |
| [01:39.95] |
There was nothing left to |
| [01:41.52] |
Sing about but hard love |
| [01:57.68] |
So I love you for your courage |
| [02:00.44] |
And your gentle sense of shame |
| [02:02.86] |
I love you for your laughter |
| [02:05.86] |
And your language and your name |
| [02:08.50] |
Though I knew it was impossible |
| [02:11.26] |
But I love you just the same |
| [02:13.95] |
Though the only love I gave |
| [02:16.03] |
To you was hard love |
| [02:22.37] |
Well it was hard love |
| [02:24.89] |
It was hard on you I know |
| [02:27.75] |
When the only love I gave |
| [02:29.86] |
To you was love I couldn't show |
| [02:33.08] |
You forgave the heart that loved you |
| [02:35.80] |
As your lover turned to go |
| [02:38.65] |
Leaving nothing but the |
| [02:40.10] |
Memory of hard love |
| [02:57.50] |
Now I'm standing in this phone |
| [02:59.53] |
Booth with a dollar and a dime |
| [03:03.12] |
Wondering what to say to you |
| [03:05.68] |
To ease your troubled mind |
| [03:08.24] |
For the Lord's Cross might redeem |
| [03:10.89] |
Us but our own just waste our time |
| [03:13.93] |
And to tell the two apart |
| [03:16.12] |
Is always hard love |
| [03:22.34] |
So I'll tell you that I love you |
| [03:25.22] |
Even though I'm far away |
| [03:27.67] |
I'll tell you how you've changed me |
| [03:30.57] |
As I live from day to day |
| [03:33.34] |
How you've helped me to accept |
| [03:35.54] |
Myself and I won't forget to say |
| [03:38.69] |
Love is never wasted even |
| [03:41.49] |
When it's hard love |
| [03:46.76] |
Well it's hard love but |
| [03:50.22] |
It's love all the same |
| [03:52.94] |
Not the stuff of fantasy |
| [03:55.65] |
But more than just a game |
| [03:58.32] |
And the only kind of miracle |
| [04:01.11] |
That's worthy of the name |
| [04:03.67] |
For the love that heals our |
| [04:05.45] |
Lives is mostly hard love |
