[Verse 1]
Of all the roads I've traveled and all the sights I've seen
The most amazing thing is the power of our dreams
And anything is possible for those who can believe
Just get your heart to rearrange its priorities

[Chorus]
For us to make love work, we've got to try a little harder
And for love to work, we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious to spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

[Verse 2]
It takes faith in one another to see things eye to eye
And it's hard to trust, but you know it's worth the try
There's a candle in my window and whenever you feel blue
You can bet your bottom dollar, I'll be there for you

[Chorus]
For us to make love work, we've got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work, we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious to spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

[Bridge]
Oh I do believe in miracles, but I know they don't come easy
So why don't we give destiny a helping hand?

[Chorus]
For us to make love work, we've got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work, we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious to spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

[Outro]
Life is just too beautiful to spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
