Dolly Parton - Afraid to Love Again lyrics

(Jerry Chesnut - Theresa Beaty)

If every time that you got hurt it left a scar

And if every dream you ever had broke your heart

If every time you made a plan the world came to an end

Then you'd know why I'm afraid to love again.

If broken dreams are all it seems you've ever known

And hurt's the only thing you can depend upon

And if you should find misery to be your only friend

Then you'd know why I'm afraid to love again.

If every time you look up a cloud should hide the sun

Pay dearly for each kindness ever shown to anyone

If everything you try should fail before you can begin

Then you'd know why I'm afraid to love again.

Then you'd know why I'm afraid to love again...
