about

My friends all rallied around me when I had a broken heart, and that inspired me to write "You Will Love Again", which quotes many of my pals who helped me out. I still have the paper napkin which I started writing the lyrics on, and my great friend Annie Combs sings it.

lyrics

You Will Love Again © 2002 JAY SPEARS MUSIC ASCAP

When you were born, you were hurled
Out of your warm and comfy world
Turned upside down and smacked upside the rear;
You started life in tears.
But without them, how would you ever know
Your loving mother’s arms?
And grow into the beautiful,
Delightful soul you are?
Though it was painful at the time,
It yielded a sublime fruit,
A truth that’s absolute.

Now here you are, a trampled flower,
Wounded by a love gone sour
The chance of finding happiness so slim;
Too bad it was with him.
That kiss, intoxicating,
You want so much to believe,
You leave your heart defenseless
On your sleeve, naïve….
A mistake, but not the worst; let he who
Hasn’t made one cast the first stone.
I guarantee you’re not alone.

We all get hurt, It’s just a part of living
And how we learn about healing and forgiving
And although your heart’s breaking,
Some mistakes are worth making.
Sadder, wiser words were never spoken:
“A heart’s not truly whole until it’s broken.”
You will love again. You will love again.
You’ll live, and laugh, and love again.

And if you think that I’m just talking,
Well I was once where you are now,
I gave my heart to someone and was
swept away by how
He would run right up the stairs
And grab me in the doorway,
Hold me in my chair,
He could always find one more way
To astonish me, you see.
It sure felt real to me.
And always with “I love you,
I love you, I love you….”

You see, you’re not the first
To take your entire universe
And stake it all on one roll of the dice;
And lose and pay the price.
“No pain, no gain”’s a dumb cliché
But there I said it anyway.
“Better to have loved and lost”… another one!
Hey I’m on a roll today! Okay, okay….
A good night’s sleep long overdue,
And when you greet a shining new day,
You’ll find the courage to say

We all get hurt, It’s just a part of living
And how we learn about healing and forgiving
And although your heart’s breaking,
Some mistakes are worth making.
Sadder, wiser words were never spoken:
“A heart’s not truly whole until it’s broken.”
You will love again. You will love again.
You’ll live, and laugh, and love again.
