sometimes it's hard to smile

keep looking back

searching for somebody

who once was in your life

baby let him go now

there'll be something better ahead



it takes love to make love

you can't hide behind your broken heart



it takes love to make love

let the light of another lover shine on you



we all have tears to cry

but there comes a day

to leave your tears behind you

and give your heart

someplace to start

and if you find your way there

there'll be someone waiting for you



it takes love to make love

you can't hide behind your broken heart



it takes love to make love

let the light of another lover shine on you



like a river

that flows

to the sea



don't wait

like a river

flowing down



whoa...hey...ooh...ah...ooh



it takes love to make love

you can't hide behind your broken heart



it takes love to make love

let the light of another lover shine on you



it takes love to make love

never mind the broken heart baby



it takes love to make love

let the light of another lover shine on you
