(M. McDonald/E. Sanford) It may seem like the wrong time To let somebody near But baby don't fear me I just want to lend an ear You can run for cover Oh, but darling, don't you see For every smile there's a teardrop And that's just how it's gonna be So it went wrong, somewhere down the line But you can't hold on, it's just a waste of time Boy you're gonna laugh (just a little bit) And live through some tears (just a little bit) Until you finally learn (that the point of it) Is that love will come again That's how you start over That's how you begin again That's how you start over Anyone who's lost love Always seems to swear To never give your heart away For someone to share Listen to your heart, each beat brings you nearer Till you understand, nothing seems too clear Boy you're gonna laugh (just a little bit) And live through some tears (just a little bit) Until you finally learn (that the point of it) Is that love will come again That's how you start over That's how you begin again That's how you start over Love will come again
