I'm 34 years old now And I've come to you Baby I don't even know how I got through From the first kiss in the schoolyard Til the last heart broke in two I didn't know it would be so hard Learning how to love you There was a life that I was living In some cracked rearview Where no future was given To a heart untrue Still I thought that I was so strong That my will could force me through I didn't know it would be so long Learning how to love you I might have never realized The courage in your kiss And the sweet forgiveness in your eyes Babe I know you've walked a mile In someone else's shoes Maybe you've left some faces smiling Walking off your blues And I don't pretend to know how You ever saw it through 'Cause I only got to where I am now Learning how to love you
