(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 man`s home late and his day`s too long
They`re both unable to spend some time alone
That everybody needs to have
That`s the thing that keeps love strong
(chorus)
Love don`t always come easy
And sometimes love it can hurt
Words don`t always come easy
It`s worth a try we`re gonna make it work
`Cause love don`t always come easyWithout warning many go a different way
And travel that road lookin` for someone
Their lives unravel a little more every day
This ain`t no time to turn and run
It`s a crime to throw it all away
(repeat chorus)
