Dan Fogelberg - Lessons Learned lyrics

With the past at your back

And the future unsure

Asked

For the chance to try

Love once more.

Well aware of the consequences

Should the dream fall through

You threw down you last defenses

Wanting to try something new

Wanting to try something new.

You found me

In a sea of confusion

Drifting with the tide

Living

On love that had long since died.

But everytime that I touch you, baby

I feel a little more alive

And I'm reminded how much you've

made me

Believe in the love that survives

Believe in the love that survives.

Lessons learned are like

Bridges burned

You only need to cross them but once

Is the knowledge gained

Worth the price of the pain?

Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?

Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?

Borne

On the first warms winds of

Feelings newly found

Fly

But remember

Don't look down

Take as much as you think you ought to

Give just as much as you can

Don't forget what your failures have taught you

Or else you'll learn them all over again

Or else you'll have to learn them

All over again.

Lessons learned are like

Bridges burned

You only need to cross them but once

Is the knowledge gained

Worth the price of the pain?

Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?

Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt
