Greatest Hits Part 2

It Takes Love
Written by Glen Burtnik, Bob Berger
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

sometimes it's hard to smile
keep looking back
searching for somebody
who once was in your life
baby let him go now
there'll be something better ahead

it takes love to make love
you can't hide behind your broken heart

it takes love to make love
let the light of another lover shine on you

we all have tears to cry
but there comes a day
to leave your tears behind you
and give your heart
someplace to start
and if you find your way there
there'll be someone waiting for you

it takes love to make love
you can't hide behind your broken heart

it takes love to make love
let the light of another lover shine on you

like a river
that flows
to the sea

don't wait
like a river
flowing down

whoa...hey...ooh...ah...ooh

it takes love to make love
you can't hide behind your broken heart

it takes love to make love
let the light of another lover shine on you

it takes love to make love
never mind the broken heart baby

it takes love to make love
let the light of another lover shine on you
