It Takes Love

Sometimes it's hard to smile
You keep looking back, searching for somebody
Who once was in your life
Baby, let him go now, there'll be something better ahead

It takes love to make love
You can't hide behind your broken heart
It takes love to make love
Let the light of another lover shine on you

We all have tears to cry but there comes a day
To leave your tears behind you
And give your heart some place to start
And if you find your way there
There'll be someone waiting for you

It takes love to make love
You can't hide behind your broken heart
And it takes love to make love
Let the light of another lover shine on you

Like a river that flows to the sea
Don't wait like a river flowing down

It takes love to make love
You can't hide behind your broken heart
It takes love to make love
Let the light of another lover shine on you

It takes love to make love
Never mind the broken heart, baby
And it takes love to make love
Let the light of another lover shine on you
