Don Schlitz - Learning to Live Again lyrics

[Verse 1] I burned my hand, an' I cut my face Heaven knows how long it's been Since I've felt, so out of place I'm wonderin' if I'll fit in Debbie and Charlie, said they'd be here by nine And Deb said she might bring a friend Just my luck, they're right on time So here I go again [Chorus] I'm gonna smile my best smile And I'm gonna laugh like it's goin' out of style Look into her eyes and pray, that she don't see That learning to live again, is k**in' me [Verse 2] A little cafe, a table for four But there's just conversation for three I like the way she let me get the door An' I wonder what she thinks of me Debbie just whispered, "You're doin' fine" And I wish that I felt the same She's asked me to dance, now her hand's in mine Oh, my god, I've forgotten her name [Chorus] But I'm gonna smile my best smile And I'm gonna laugh like it's goin' out of style Look into her eyes and pray, that she don't see This learning to live again, is k**in' me [Verse 3] Now here we are, beneath her porch light And I say what a great time it's been A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight And I say, "Can I see you again" And she just smiles her best smile And she laughs like it's goin' out of style Looks into my eyes and says, "We'll see" [Outro] Oh this learning to live again, is k**in' me God, this learning to live again, is k**in' me
