It Takes Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes it's hard to smile
keep looking back
searching for somebody
who once was in your life
baby let him go now
there'll be something better ahead
it takes love to make love
you can't hide behind your broken heart
it takes love to make love
let the light of another lover shine on you
we all have tears to cry
but there comes a day
to leave your tears behind you
and give your heart
someplace to start
and if you find your way there
there'll be someone waiting for you
it takes love to make love
you can't hide behind your broken heart
it takes love to make love
let the light of another lover shine on you
like a river
that flows
to the sea
don't wait
like a river
flowing down
whoa...hey...ooh...ah...ooh
it takes love to make love
you can't hide behind your broken heart
it takes love to make love
let the light of another lover shine on you
it takes love to make love
never mind the broken heart baby
it takes love to make love
let the light of another lover shine on you
