Cant Take Love for Granted — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

When I spoke what was on my mind

I wasnt thinking of your heart

I wasnt thinking bout the things I said

That landed us so far apart

And now my world is ending baby

With a chance remark

No, you cant take love for granted



You look at me with your wounded eyes

And I look back with fear

There used to be such faith between us, now, darlin

Now its just not here

And the door was slammed hours ago

But its still ringing in my ears

No, you cant take love for granted



It was a funny way to show I love you

A funny way to care

Its a funny thing to be without you

As empty as your stare





You cant take love for granted

Its got its own free will

Its got a mind of its own when it wants one, baby

And looks that can kill

One day youre in heaven darling

The next you feel like hell

No, you cant take love for granted



You can speak whats on your mind

If youve got a gamblers heart

You can be the truth incarnate

You can shoot straight in the dark

You can pull the moon down baby

With a lasso made of stars

But no, you cant take love for granted

No, you cant take love for granted no

Baby, dont take love for granted
