Tinker Barfield - Love to Last lyrics

When I was a little girl I never thought much of this world Like why the night was night and day was day But my mama always made me feel so happy And I always would start to smile When I heard her say You've got to love to last If you really want to make it And there'll always be someone there to help you sing Go on and love to last All you got to do is try it And you'll find you have all the strength you really need When I grew a little bigger That's when I begin to figure out What made me different from my friends And I found it wasn't something on the outside It was the happiness in my heart I felt within You've got to love to last If you wanna keep on growing And it's really not hard to do once you start Come on and love to last And your sunshine will be glowing And they'll see all the love and joy That's in your heart I wanna be free to love and free to live Like the seasons that pa** you by from year to year I want to sing every song to music that I hear And let the melody linger on within my ear Come on and love to last You just put your whole heart to it And you know that we all can do it Everyone Everyone We're gonna lead every woman Every man It's gonna take everyone around to free this land Come on and love to last We can take away all troubles We can burst all the bad luck bubbles one by one Come on and love to last You can put your whole heart to it And you know that we all can do it Everyone Everyone Everyone, yeah We must love on And love on And love on
