A Lesson In Love

[Verse 1]
Nothing is for certain
That's what the showman said
First you must open the curtain
And stand 'em on their heads

[Verse 2]
There can be no inhibitions
No prima donna ways
If you wanna pass the audition
And times is tough these days

[Verse 3]
Remember when Mr. Barnum
Presented Jenny Lind
They named a candy after her
A circus after him

[Verse 4]
End of my story
The rest is history
She in all of her glory
He lived quietly

[Verse 5]
He needed her, she needed him
As sure as the skies above
In a way it was for them
A lesson in love
A lesson in love

[Verse 6]
You look like the moonglow
That follows me home
Always makes me turn around
Won't leave me alone

[Verse 7]
First to come are the midgets
A monkey and a kid
Followed by those two one-armed jugglers
The ego and the id

[Verse 8]
Songs of the season
Apples of the sun
There is no rhyme or reason
Just a time for each and every one

[Verse 9]
Hang on Mr. Barnum
Hang on Jenny Lind
We will meet you in streets of gold
Where eternity begins

[Verse 10]
We will let it all hang out
Go hand in glove
Life was meant to live and learn
A lesson in love
A lesson in love
