BY MICHAEL MCDONALD AND JOHN SCOTT SHERRILL

YOU IF ANYONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT TIME WILL TELL
NOT SO LONG AGO YOU TAUGHT ME OH SO WELL
NOW YOUR TIME HAS COME
SOMEONE TOOK YOUR PLACE
(THERES) NO NEED TO TELL ME THAT HES GONE (CAUSE)
I CAN READ IT ON YOUR FACE

CHORUS:
YOU LEARNED THAT YOU COULD DREAM EVERY NIGHT
YOU CAN TRY ALL YOU LIKE
YOU CAN PRAY EVERY DAY THAT ITS ENOUGH
YOU CAN HOPE ALL YOU WANT
ITS SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR FAITH ON
BUT YOU CANT MAKE IT LOVE

THERES NO WAY LOVE CAN GROW
IF ONLY ONE IS TRUE
I WOULD THINK THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
AFTER ALL, I LEARNED THIS FROM YOU
NO MATTER HOW MUCH ONES IN LOVE
AS LONG AS ONE IS LYING
THERE AINT NO AMOUNT OF TEARS
THERE AINT NO AMOUNT OF TRYING

CHORUS:
YOU LEARNED THAT YOU COULD DREAM EVERY NIGHT
YOU CAN TRY ALL YOU LIKE
YOU CAN PRAY EVERY DAY THAT ITS ENOUGH
YOU CAN HOPE ALL YOU WANT
ITS SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR FAITH ON
BUT YOU CANT MAKE IT LOVE
