THIS TIME (a.k.a. A LESSON IN LEARNING) (Mike Gibbins)

A lesson in learning, to love without burning inside

To give without taking too much from the light in your eyes

I know you'll make it this time

I know you'll make it this time, this time


Draw back the curtains and let in the early morning light

Open the window and go, step outside

Let the sounds play on your mind

Watch the world as it rolls by in your mind


All I suggest to you is to keep on in what you're doing

Carry on, there's a lot you can do, so go

A lesson in learning, to love without burning inside

To give without taking too much from the light in your eyes

I know you'll make it this time

I know you'll make it this time, this time


All I suggest to you is to keep on in what you're doing

Carry on, there's a lot you can do, so go


All I can do for you is to keep on loving you

Carry on, make the best of our lives, at once.
