lyrics

Labor of Love

Now, falling love is chancy
Staying in love, an art
More than a passing fancy
Needs the mind, not just the heart

Oh, infatuation's kid stuff
Manna that falls from above
But sometimes when it's a bit rough
That takes the labor of love

There may be days he'll displease you
Times he'll fall short of the mark
But then forgiveness will seize you
When you feel his warmth in the dark

You can't always have things your way
Sometimes you let off steam
You're heading out the doorway
Love's the impossible dream

Just finding someone is Kismet
Ah, but when push comes to shove
To ride off into the sunset
That takes the labor of love.
