THE LESSON

|
This is the lesson taught to me
|
A long time ago at my mother's knee
|
She said, someday someone who loves you
|
Will make you cry
|
Though he loves you he'll hurt you
|
Till you feel you could die
|
But if he says forgive me
|
Forgive if you can
|
For you are his woman
|
And he is your man
|
When you're looking for roses
|
There are thorns you will meet
|
And remember my child
|
Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet
|
Well it's finally happened
|
Now it's my turn to cry
|
Oh my darling you've hurt me
|
Till I feel I could die
|
But you're saying forgive me
|
And I understand
|
For I am your woman
|
And you are my man
|
Don't tell me about heartache
|
I've cried my share of tears
|
I've had my share of rain
|
But after the storm
|
No rain will appear
|
I just know when you hold me
|
My whole world is complete
|
And the lesson is clear
|
Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet
|
And the lesson is clear
|
Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet
|
