Dan Fogelberg - Lessons Learned Lyrics

You with the past at your back
And the future unsure
Asked for the chance to try love once more

Well aware of the consequences
Should the dream fall through?
You threw down you last defenses
Wanting to try something new
Wanting to try something new

You found me in a sea of confusion
Drifting with the tide
Living on love that had long since died

But every time that I touch you, baby, I feel a little more alive
And I'm reminded how much you've made me
Believe in the love that survives
You know we must believe in the love that survives

Lessons learned are like bridges burned
You only need to cross them but once
Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain?
Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?
Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?

Borne on the first warms winds of
Feelings newly found
Fly but remember don't look down

Take as much as you think you ought to
Give just as much as you can
Don't forget what your failures have taught you
Or else you'll learn them all over again
Or else you'll have to learn them all over again

Lessons learned are like bridges burned
You only need to cross them but once
Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain?
Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?
Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?
