(ed king, johnny van-zant)
Two young lovers meet and take each others hand
They say I do in the name of the lord
Livin as one givin all they can
Then the pressures come and a child is born
Young girl cradles the child in her arms
The mans home late and his days too long
Theyre both unable to spend some time alone
That everybody needs to have
Thats the thing that keeps love strong
(chorus)
Love dont always come easy
And sometimes love it can hurt
Words dont always come easy
Its worth a try were gonna make it work
cause love dont always come easy
Without warning many go a different way
And travel that road lookin for someone
Their lives unravel a little more every day
This aint no time to turn and run
Its a crime to throw it all away
(repeat chorus)
