My mama and daddy   Were celebrating their anniversary    In all their years together   I'd never seen them disagree.      I said mama what's your secret   Daddy tell me the truth   They laid a little wisdom on me   That I've carried ever since my youth.      If you hold on to love too tight   It'll crumble and crack   If you hold on to love too loosely   It'll fly away and won't come back.      Love has a mind of it's own   It'll dance like a kite on a string   For something that can be so strong   Love is a fragile thing.   Love sure is a fragile thing.      They said your mama and your daddy ain't perfect son   We made our share of mistakes   But we never go to bed when either one's mad   No matter how long it takes.      We sit up and talk things over   Till we work everything out   We kiss goodnight and in the morning   We've forgotten what we argued about.      If you hold on to love too tight   It'll crumble and crack   If you hold on to love too loosely   It'll fly away and won't come back.      True love is a treasure   Treat it like it is   And then one day   You can say to your own kids...
