Hard Love - Tony Rice[00:00:00]
Well I remember growing up[00:00:07]
Like it was only yesterday[00:00:09]
Mom and Daddy tried their[00:00:13]
Best to guide me on my way[00:00:15]
But the hard times and the[00:00:18]
Liquor drove the easy love away[00:00:20]
And the only love[00:00:24]
I knew about was hard love[00:00:25]
Well it was hard love[00:00:32]
Every hour of the day[00:00:35]
When Christmas to my birthday[00:00:38]
Was a million miles away[00:00:40]
And the fear that came between[00:00:43]
Them drove the tears into my play[00:00:45]
There was love in daddy's[00:00:49]
House but it was hard love[00:00:50]
Well I recall the gentle courtesy[00:00:57]
You showed me as I tried[00:01:00]
To dissemble in politeness all[00:01:03]
The love I felt inside[00:01:06]
And for every song of laughter[00:01:09]
There was another song that cried[00:01:11]
This ain't no easy weekend[00:01:14]
This is hard love[00:01:17]
Well it was hard love[00:01:23]
Every step of the way[00:01:25]
Hard to be so close to[00:01:28]
You and hard to turn away[00:01:30]
And when all the stars and[00:01:34]
Sentimental songs dissolved the day[00:01:35]
There was nothing left to[00:01:39]
Sing about but hard love[00:01:41]
So I love you for your courage[00:01:57]
And your gentle sense of shame[00:02:00]
I love you for your laughter[00:02:02]
And your language and your name[00:02:05]
Though I knew it was impossible[00:02:08]
But I love you just the same[00:02:11]
Though the only love I gave[00:02:13]
To you was hard love[00:02:16]
Well it was hard love[00:02:22]
It was hard on you I know[00:02:24]
When the only love I gave[00:02:27]
To you was love I couldn't show[00:02:29]
You forgave the heart that loved you[00:02:33]
As your lover turned to go[00:02:35]
Leaving nothing but the[00:02:38]
Memory of hard love[00:02:40]
Now I'm standing in this phone[00:02:57]
Booth with a dollar and a dime[00:02:59]
Wondering what to say to you[00:03:03]
To ease your troubled mind[00:03:05]
For the Lord's Cross might redeem[00:03:08]
Us but our own just waste our time[00:03:10]
And to tell the two apart[00:03:13]
Is always hard love[00:03:16]
So I'll tell you that I love you[00:03:22]
Even though I'm far away[00:03:25]
I'll tell you how you've changed me[00:03:27]
As I live from day to day[00:03:30]
How you've helped me to accept[00:03:33]
Myself and I won't forget to say[00:03:35]
Love is never wasted even[00:03:38]
When it's hard love[00:03:41]
Well it's hard love but[00:03:46]
It's love all the same[00:03:50]
Not the stuff of fantasy[00:03:52]
But more than just a game[00:03:55]
And the only kind of miracle[00:03:58]
That's worthy of the name[00:04:01]
For the love that heals our[00:04:03]
Lives is mostly hard love[00:04:05]
