Once You Love

A long time ago, there laid a man,
He had the world in the palm of his hand
Sultans and kings beat a path to his door,
Had everything but he still wanted moreOne day in spring came a lady so fair,
And he'd never looked on a beauty so rare
But he didn't trust her,
So he locked her away,
The gold lost its lustre when the love died that dayOnce you love, once you trust it,
Once you give, your soul is bare
One false move and you know you're busted,
Once you love, you careI knew an old man who lived all alone
A sad little house at the end of the road
Sat on his front porch, in an old rocking chair,
Everyone swore he'd gone crazy down thereBut no-one comes near, so how could they know,
He lost someone dear to him once long ago
He remembers the laughter, still tastes the tears,
Still calls her name out after all of these yearsOnce you love, once you trust it,
Once you give, your soul is bare
One false move and you know you're busted,
Once you love, you careYou can keep it all inside,
You can run but you can't hide
When you think it's safe outside,
Look behind you love will find youOnce you love, once you trust it,
Once you give, your soul is bare
One false move and you know you're busted,
'Cause once you love, you careOnce you trust it,
Once you care
Once you trust it
Once you care
Once you trust it
Once you care
Once you trust it
Once you care
