《Hard Love》歌词

[00:00:00] Hard Love - Tony Rice

[00:00:07] Well I remember growing up

[00:00:09] Like it was only yesterday

[00:00:13] Mom and Daddy tried their

[00:00:15] Best to guide me on my way

[00:00:18] But the hard times and the

[00:00:20] Liquor drove the easy love away

[00:00:24] And the only love

[00:00:25] I knew about was hard love

[00:00:32] Well it was hard love

[00:00:35] Every hour of the day

[00:00:38] When Christmas to my birthday

[00:00:40] Was a million miles away

[00:00:43] And the fear that came between

[00:00:45] Them drove the tears into my play

[00:00:49] There was love in daddy's

[00:00:50] House but it was hard love

[00:00:57] Well I recall the gentle courtesy

[00:01:00] You showed me as I tried

[00:01:03] To dissemble in politeness all

[00:01:06] The love I felt inside

[00:01:09] And for every song of laughter

[00:01:11] There was another song that cried

[00:01:14] This ain't no easy weekend

[00:01:17] This is hard love

[00:01:23] Well it was hard love

[00:01:25] Every step of the way

[00:01:28] Hard to be so close to

[00:01:30] You and hard to turn away

[00:01:34] And when all the stars and

[00:01:35] Sentimental songs dissolved the day

[00:01:39] There was nothing left to

[00:01:41] Sing about but hard love

[00:01:57] So I love you for your courage

[00:02:00] And your gentle sense of shame

[00:02:02] I love you for your laughter

[00:02:05] And your language and your name

[00:02:08] Though I knew it was impossible

[00:02:11] But I love you just the same

[00:02:13] Though the only love I gave

[00:02:16] To you was hard love

[00:02:22] Well it was hard love

[00:02:24] It was hard on you I know

[00:02:27] When the only love I gave

[00:02:29] To you was love I couldn't show

[00:02:33] You forgave the heart that loved you

[00:02:35] As your lover turned to go

[00:02:38] Leaving nothing but the

[00:02:40] Memory of hard love

[00:02:57] Now I'm standing in this phone

[00:02:59] Booth with a dollar and a dime

[00:03:03] Wondering what to say to you

[00:03:05] To ease your troubled mind

[00:03:08] For the Lord's Cross might redeem

[00:03:10] Us but our own just waste our time

[00:03:13] And to tell the two apart

[00:03:16] Is always hard love

[00:03:22] So I'll tell you that I love you

[00:03:25] Even though I'm far away

[00:03:27] I'll tell you how you've changed me

[00:03:30] As I live from day to day

[00:03:33] How you've helped me to accept

[00:03:35] Myself and I won't forget to say

[00:03:38] Love is never wasted even

[00:03:41] When it's hard love

[00:03:46] Well it's hard love but

[00:03:50] It's love all the same

[00:03:52] Not the stuff of fantasy

[00:03:55] But more than just a game

[00:03:58] And the only kind of miracle

[00:04:01] That's worthy of the name

[00:04:03] For the love that heals our

[00:04:05] Lives is mostly hard love
