There's a right way of leavin'

A kind way to kill her doubt

Oh, but what I found the hard way

It's always hard to let her down

There's a right way of bein'

A thousand ways to drink her in

And it's an endless game

Always wise to let her win



There's a heart for forgivin'

Again and again

And there's a part for the actors

In the life that we play

There's a mile for the journey

Awhile for the learning

And we learn to be wrong the right way



There's a fine way of stealin'

Like a longer way to walk her home

Just to buy more time

I know that can't be wrong

There's a calm way of breathin' 

When life keeps comin' endlessly

When it's hard sometimes

Just stand here next to me



There's a heart for forgivin'

Again and again

And there's a part for the actors

In the life that we play

There's a mile for the journey

Awhile for the learning

And we learn to be wrong the right way



Back on you to hold us together

Left undone the hope just fades



There's a heart for givin'

Again and again

And there's a part for the actors

In the life that we play

There's a mile for the journey

Awhile for the learning

And we learn to be wrong the right way

We have to learn to be wrong the right way
