I Could Learn to Love You

I could learn to love you
I'm old enough
I could learn to love you
I'm brave enough
Not like a mother's love
Decided from the womb
Not like a burning love
That flares the night and fades at noon
I mean the stubborn kind that you choose

I could learn to listen
And not be selective
I could learn to listen
To hear you and respect it
I could get to know you
Apart from my own reflection
I could learn to let go of you
And set aside my expectations
And put away the push and shove

I may not have what it takes for love
But I'm not afraid of the stakes for love
And I will weather the aches for love
Grace will see me true
I have nothing here to prove

I could learn to love you
I could be faithful
I could learn to love you
And lay it on the table
I could be your closest friend
I can take some distance
I could be your biggest fan
And I can handle some resistance
I will tell the truth

I could learn, I could learn, I could learn
I could learn, I could learn, I could learn
I could learn, I could learn, I could, I, I, I...
I could learn, I could learn, I, I, I, I, I could learn
