It happens to a mother when she is giving birth

Her heart is filled with joy, while her body's filled with hurt

She holds her baby close to her despite the pain he caused

When it comes to love you don't count the cost



It happens to a soldier fighting for his home

Fear wells up inside him and yet he still goes on

Even though he knows he may be the next to fall

When it comes to love you don't count the cost



You don't count the heartache, you don't count the sacrifice

'Cause all that counts is what you feel inside

And it doesn't really matter what is gained or what is lost

When it comes to love, oh you don't count the cost



It happens all around us each and every day

Someone's giving all they've got for someone else's sake

And if you ever doubt it just think about the cross

When it comes to love you don't count the cost



You don't count the heartache, you don't count the sacrifice

'Cause all that counts is what you feel inside

And it doesn't really matter what is gained or what is lost

When it comes to love you don't count the cost



No
