Songs of Love

Songs Of Love -J.D.Souther
How can people spend such tears
On whats already been done
And now with time just one step behind us
Weve so far yet to run
There will be no more disappointed heartaches left for me
My price is almost won
But those songs of love wont mean the same
As when we first begun
I was born a fool for treasure
I thought it was even in the rough
Ah but when the gold was in my hands
You know I tried for harder stuff
So all burdened down
You know I took my love to town
Hoping somebody
Somebody would just call my bluff
But those songs of love wont mean the same
As when we first begun
You know the world and all of its pleasures
I guess they tempted me far too young
And I know Ive been wrong on so many songs
That I must have been right in one
Oh what a price to pay
Just for winning this way
Now those songs of love wont mean the same
As when we first begun
As when we first begun
