Seasons

J. Cunningham
(From the album, The Song Club)

Everything in its season
Everything in its time
But there better be a damn good reason
That you took so long to find
Those years that we could have been loving
Spent in sorrow and dark solitude
Are the teachers that taught us our lessons
Let’s put all that learning to use

Let’s put all that learning to use
Catch up on all the years that we let slip through
There’s a whole lot of living left to do
So let’s put all that learning to use

Your sweet face is telling a story
A story told line upon line
And your sweet voice says come tell it with me
Let’s write our own story this time
Those years that we should have been loving
Just how dark they were I never knew
Til’ you showed me the light I was missing
Let’s put all that darkness to use

Let’s put all that learning to use
Catch up on all the years that we let slip through
There’s a whole lot of living left to do
So let’s put all that learning to use
Catch up on all the years that we let slip through
There better be a damn good reason
There’s a whole lot of living left to do
So let’s put all that learning to use
