DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Lessons Learned

You...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 your 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

You know, we must believe in the love that survives



[Chorus:]

Oh 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 warm winds of feeling 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



[Chorus]
