Learning How to Love

My old man was long gone
When I grew up
And my Mom
She had locked her heart away
You might say that
I never had a lesson
In the way that two people
Bear their souls from day to day
Come here
Show me how I can
Get this calloused hand
In that velvet glove
I know I don’t have the grace
But someday 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 are 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 that velvet glove
I know I don’t have the grace
But someday I will
Baby, I am still
Learning how to love
I know I don’t have the grace
But someday I will
Baby, I am still
Learning how to love
