When It Hurts You Most

(album: With Love - 1981)

All hearts fall down sometimes
Some dreams have to end
All hearts can be broken
But always love again

I know lately times have been hard on you
You just don't talk it out like you used to do
Form one friend to another I've seen you hurt each other
Don't let it get the best of you

You've got to laugh when it's hardest
Love when it hurts you most
You've gotta turn your back on the blues
When they come too close

When you feel like crying
When your heart's through trying
Laugh when it's hardest
Love when it hurts you most

I see that hopeless look in your eyes again
I know sometimes you think it will never end
When your affection needs a direction
And you don't know where to begin

You've got to laugh when it's hardest
Love when it hurts you most
You've gotta turn your back on the blues
When they come too close

When you feel like crying
When your heart's through trying
Laugh when it's hardest
Love when it hurts you most

You've got to laugh when it's hardest
Love when it hurts you most

All hearts can be broken
But always love again
