Lyrics
If you're lucky enough to have someone who loves you
If you're fortunate to have someone who loves you, appreciate it.
Then be glad that you've got someone who loves you
Express gratitude for having someone who loves you.
'Cause the lips that were warm can grow cool
Recognize that affection may fade over time.
Listen to the wisdom of a fool
Pay attention to the advice from someone who has experienced heartbreak.
When you take her poor heart and you do something to it
Reflect on the consequences of hurting someone's heart.
And you think to yourself, oh, why did I do it
Regretting actions that caused pain.
You may find that the world can be cruel
Acknowledge the harshness of the world.
Listen to the wisdom of a fool
Learn from the mistakes and experiences of others.
Now I had a love just the same as you
Speaker had a love similar to the listener's situation.
And I was a fool not to see
Regret for not realizing the value of love.
But you still have time to say you love her
Encouragement to express love before it's too late.
I'm afraid it's too late for me
Speaker feels it's too late for their own love.
So go back to the arms that you know will be waiting
Advice to return to a waiting love.
Hold her close in your arms and be glad that she's waiting
Embrace the love that patiently waits for you.
You'll be happy, believe me, if you'll
Assurance of happiness if one heeds the advice.
Only listen to the wisdom of a fool
Reiteration of listening to the wisdom of those who have suffered.
Now I had a love just the same as you
Speaker reiterates their experience of lost love.
And I was a fool not to see
Expresses regret for not realizing the love's value.
But you still have time to say you love her
Encouragement for the listener to express love in time.
I'm afraid it's too late for me
Speaker feels it's too late for their own love.
So go back to the arms that you know will be waiting
Encouragement to return to a waiting love.
Hold her close in your arms and be glad that she's waiting
Embrace the love that patiently waits for you.
You'll be happy, believe me, if you'll
Reiteration of the potential for happiness through heeding advice.
Only listen to the wisdom of a fool
Final plea to listen to the wisdom of those who have experienced heartbreak.
Listen to the wisdom of a fool
Reiteration of the importance of heeding the advice of those who have suffered.
