Till It Hurts

When you love somebody,
              love somebody till it hurts
till there's nothing more to give
              and leave no word unsaid

When you love somebody,
              love somebody to the end
see them through the darkness
          heart to heart, head to head

And when the pain near overcomes
from burdens shared by love
remember what lies other side 
            when smiles reflect the sun

When you love somebody,
              love somebody till it hurts 
till doubt and fear and sorrow
              have long been put to bed
