A Lesson In Love Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

A Lesson In Love Lyrics

    Nothing is for certain
    That's what the showman said
    First you must open the curtain
    And stand'em on their heads
    There can be no inhibitions
    No prima donna ways
    If you want to pass the audition
    And times is tough these days
    Remember when mr. barnum
    Presented jenny lind
    They named a candy after her
    A circus after him
    End of my story
    The rest is history
    She in all of her glory
    He lived quietly
    He needed her, she needed him
    As sure as the sky above
    In a way it was for them
    A lesson in love
    A lesson in love

    You look like the moonglow
    That follows me home
    Always makes me turn around
    Won't leave me alone
    First to come are the midgets
    A monkey and a kid
    Followed by those two one-armed jugglers
    The ego and the id

    Songs of the season
    Apples of the sun
    There is no rhyme or reason
    Just a time for each and every one
    Hang on mr. barnum
    Hang on jenny lind
    We will meet you in streets of gold
    Where eternity begins
    We will let it all hangout
    Go hand in glove
    Live was meant to live and learn
    A lesson in love
    A lesson in love
