Two young lovers meet and take each others hand
  They say I do in the name of the Lord
  Livin' as one givin' all they can
  Then the pressures come and a child is born
  Young girl cradles the child in her arms
  The man's home late and his day's too long
  They're both unable to spend some time alone
  That everybody needs to have
  That's the thing that keeps love strong
  
  (Chorus:)
  Love don't always come easy
  And sometimes love it can hurt
  Words don't always come easy
  It's worth a try we're gonna make it work
  'Cause love don't always come easy
  
  Without warning many go a different way
  And travel that road lookin' for someone
  Their lives unravel a little more every day
  This ain't no time to turn and run
  It's a crime to throw it all away
  
  (repeat chorus)
