(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 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)
