The Learning?s there to Learn

1.

Tell me was it something that I said
That made you up and leave me
while I slumbered in my bed
Or was it just the wings of dawn
Beckoning your heart
Or was it just the strands of love
Had all been pulled apart
I guess I?m not the only sucker
Ever felt this way
I miss you from the drop of night
Til breaking light of day
And I wish with all my aching heart
One day you will return
In the meantime I just guess the learning there to learn

2.

I see you left behind some clothes
Some shoes and make up too
I still can see you painting up the way you used to do
And I guess I have told you
How your beauty made me cry
How I?d leave your room, so you wouldn?t see the water in my eye
But we?d step out to the evening
Drink margaritas all night long
Them dudes would try to sweet talk you
They?d always get you wrong
But you?d smile into my eyes
And we?d make that dance floor burn
But that was all so long ago
Now the learning?s there to learn

3.

Friends and neighbours they still ask of you
I just tell them what you did was what you had to do
That there comes a time in everybody?s life when people change
You just moved on to better things
It?s really not that strange
And your children they are all doing fine
And getting on at school
Though someone said to little Sam his daddy was a fool
I just told him respect was something to be earned
And whatever age your going through
The learning there to learn.

4.

There?s many women that I?ve loved and you?ve loved other men
But what went down between us girl can never come again
I have loved you like a fire, I?ve held you like the rain
And you took me to something else
Well never feel again
Now my sadness breathes into September air
And I know your soul is troubled, though your doing fine out there
But I never will forget you as I watch the seasons turn
And we both know the time will go and the learning?s there to learn.
