lyrics

I’d Do It All All Over Again

It’s been a rough patch for a long time now
I’ve been beaten and knocked down.
Locked out in the cold in a threadbare coat
With my tears soaking the ground.
But once upon a time I slept in the sun
With a lover who was tender and true
And the magic I found in his arms
Is still the magic that pulls me through.

Chorus
If I could do it all over again
You know, I’d do it all over again
The love outshines everything else
And I’d do it all all over again.

I took things for granted when I was young.
Thought joy was mine for the choosing.
Didn’t know to give thanks for simple sweetness
Till I found out about losing.
Thought I’d keep what I had and get some more.
Would I have fallen in love so deep
If I’d known then like I know now
It was a love I couldn’t keep?

Chorus

I had a plan back when I began
But life wasn’t run by my plan
It cut a cloth of many colors
Woven from many strands.
Now I’m looking over the quilt of my life
Rough patches blend with the tender
The love’s vivid but
The pain is just background for the splendor

Chorus
