My old man was long gone when I grew up
And my mom she had locked her heart away
You might say I never had a lesson
In the way two people bear their souls from day to day
Come here
Show me how I can
Get this calloused hand
In a velvet glove
I know
I don't have grace
But some day I will
Baby I am still
Learning how to love
I can see by your eyes
That I've hurt you
And I'm not even sure just what I've done
Baby you're just gonna have to lead me
In this beautiful slow dance
That we've only just begun
Come here
Show me how I can
Get this calloused hand
In a velvet glove
I know
I don't have the grace
But some day I will
Baby I am still
Learning how to love
