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 easy



Without 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)
