| Have you ever seen a heart as it lays dyin',
|
| Or what’s left of it’s life slips away?
|
| Well any tears that get shed ain’t worth cryin',
|
| 'Cause I’ve seen plenty I’m lucky that way.
|
| Have you ever heard a voice start to moanin',
|
| After despair’s choked its last words away?
|
| Well, any worse sound defies your ears even knowin',
|
| And, Lord, I’ve heard plenty I’m lucky that way.
|
| So wrap your warm arms around me,
|
| And let our weak hands delight love’s sad face.
|
| Then press your soft lips against me,
|
| And let the first bets on new love be made.
|
| Have you ever watched a couple where a woman stands cryin',
|
| While begging the other to please stay?
|
| The awful truth is, it ain’t the worth the cryin',
|
| Lord, I’ve watched plenty: I’m lucky that way.
|
| Lord, I’ve watched plenty: I’m lucky that way. |
