The Art of Love Songtext

von Neil Diamond

She said, "It′s time to teach you the art of love."
She said, "We're gonna reach to the heart of love
A place you never knew;
A place that lives somewhere inside of you."

I know I′m on a journey I won't forget
I know I had it in me to give and yet I never could before
I had to, if I wanted to be yours.

You made me see I'd have to be a brand new man
He lives in me, so here in me is where I began.

You showed the kind of lesson I can′t erase
You showed a way to get from that lonely place
To where love comes alive
And you′d be waiting there when I arrive.

The truth was clear
Love's not a place you go to find
It lives in here
Just leave it space, give it time

I learned that I could stumble and maybe fall
I learned in being humble I′d have it all
A brand new way to live
That love's not what you have but what you give
And the art of love is who you share it with.
