Behold This Love I've Laid to Rest

Behold this love I've laid to rest
It occupied my empty chest
And took with it my very best
I'll learn to live again

I sold my hopes and dreams for you
Ripped out all my seams for you
And gave you all that's good and true
I'll learn to live again

I learned that I was ready for
The brightest days that were in store
But now I slowly close the door
I'll learn to live again

I have been through some sad, sad times
And found that some words have no rhymes
And found the sweet in bitter limes
I'll learn to live again

If I do find another one
Under this, a kindly sun
I'll walk slow - no race to run
I'll learn to love again
