Emmylou Harris Lyrics
"You're Learning"

(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin)

You are learning what it's like to sit and cry
And wonder why your plans went wrong
You are learning what it feels when pain is real
To realize you're all alone, yes you're learning.

We had the chance to be happy
Nothing stood in our way
If only you'd meant what you promised
We wouldn't be crying today.

You are learning that a lie
Can make you cry for the truth your heart reveals
You are learning that a flirt can cause a hurt
Even though your love is real, yes you're learning.

--- Instrumental ---

We had the chance to be happy
Nothing stood in our way
If only you'd meant what you promised
We wouldn't be crying today.

Yes, you're learning...
