A Lesson in Love lyrics

"Nothing is for certain"

That's what the showman said

First you must open the curtain

And stand 'em on their heads

There can be no inhibitions

No prima donna ways

If you want to pass the audition

And times is tough these days

Remember when Mr. Barnum

Presented Jenny Lind

They named a candy after her

A circus after him

End of my story

The rest is history

She in all of her glory

He lived quietly

He needed her, she needed him

As sure as the skies above

In a way it was for them

A lesson in love

A lesson in love

You look like the moon glow

That follows me home

Always makes me turn around

Won't leave me alone

First to come are the midgets

A monkey and a kid

Followed by those two one-armed jugglers

The ego and the id1

Songs of the season

Apples of the sun

There is no rhyme or reason

Just a time for each and every one

Hang on Mr. Barnum

Hang on Jenny Lind 2

We will meet you in streets of gold

Where eternity begins

We will let it all hang out

Go hand in glove

Life was meant to live and learn

A lesson in love, a lesson in love

1. According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, the id is the personality component made up of unconscious psychic energy that works to satisfy basic urges, needs, and desires. The id operates based on the pleasure principle, which demands immediate gratification of needs. The id is one of the three major components of personality postulated by Freud: the id, ego, and superego.2. Jenny Lind was a Swedish Opera singer, often called the "Swedish Nightingale". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Lind
