There are times when you can take it
And times when you can’t;
Times when you’re strong,
And times when you aren’t.
You’re strong when you’re free of emotions I’m told,
But I’ve never been that hard or that cold.
And I still don’t see,
Although I’m growing old,
Why the love at the centre can’t hold.

Refrain:
It’s never so important that you can’t smile,
You’re never so important that you can’t stop awhile…
And how I wish we could…
To consider the general good.

There are moments when you see
And years when you’re blind;
Decades when you lose,
And seconds when you find.
We can determine our destiny I’m told,
But I’ve never been that astute or that bold.
And I still don’t believe,
Although I’m growing old,
That the love at the centre can’t hold.

Refrain.

There are times when you’re rich,
And times when you’re poor;
You spend lifetimes on the mountain
But you’re still on the floor.
We must fight on upward to the end I’m told,
But I’ve never wanted that crock of gold.
And I still don’t believe,
Although I’m growing old,
That the love at the centre won’t hold.
