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
