The Losing Part

Lyrics

You can climb a whole lot of stairs when your legs are younger
 You can get along on nothing when you're making a start
 You can eat brown rice and hope with time on your side
 Ah but it gets much harder when you get to the losing part
 When it never came true never happened to you
 It just slowly faded away 'til it broke your heart
 Some dreams die harder some are living yet
 Sooner or later you get to the losing part
 And there's a whole lot of fish in
 the sea when you first start fishing
 You're gonna take your time in choosing you're gonna be smart
 And there ain't no need to hurry when you looking 'em over
 But it's time to worry when you get to the losing part
 When it never came true never happened to you
 It just slowly faded away 'til it broke your heart
 Some dreams die harder some are living yet
 Sooner or later you get to the losing part
 When it never came true never happened to you
 It just slowly faded away 'til it broke your heart
 Some dreams die harder some are living yet
 Sooner or later you get to the losing part
 You think that love's forever when you're a beginner
 Just one love for life and a constant heart
 And you're so sure that love's made you a winner
 Right up to the day when you get to the losing part
 When it never came true never happened to you
 It just slowly faded away 'til it broke your heart
 Some dreams die harder some are living yet
 Sooner or later you get to the losing part
 Sooner or later you get to the losing part
