How Much Can Love Take

How Much Can Love Take 2002
How much can one heart take, before it breaks,
How often can love’s melody sway,
Let’s talk and mend what’s broken,
Before it’s too hurtful to stay.
The weight of sorrows, the ache it makes,

Love’s rhythm rocks a delicate dance,
The notes of joy, once sweetly sung,
Heal the wounds, the words unspoken,
Now clouded by doubts, where love had clung.
Too much pain makes one leery of chance.

In the darkest hour, we’ll hold on tight,
No obstacle is too great to face,
when happiness is a bond unbroken.
For in love’s embrace, we find our grace.
Together we’ll conquer any plight,

Through highs and lows, time takes its toll,
With tender touch and understanding,
In gentle words, hearts awoken,
We’ll find our way, our love expanding.
For love’s the thread that binds us whole,

Let’s cherish love, in every way,
With open hearts and souls alight,
For love is a gift, a precious token,
We’ll find the strength to make things right.
Nurture its flame, day by day,
