Idina Menzel - You Learn To Live Without Lyrics
Beth:You learn to take your coffee blackYou learn to drink your whiskey neatYou learn to take the shower coldAnd sleep on tired feetYou learn to order dinner inYou learn to send the laundry outYou learn how to amuse yourselfYou learn to live withoutYou tell yourself you're rich at last,In money, and in timeYou draw bath and then unplug the phoneYou pour yourself a pinot, Clos Du Val, two thousand threeYou sit a spell, a queen upon her throneYou go to bed aloneLiz:You learn to fall asleep aloneYou learn to silence ticking clocksYou learn to pull the shades at nightAnd double-check the locksYou learn to speak so calmly whenYour heart would like to scream and shoutYou learn to stop, and breathe, and smileYou learn to live withoutYou find the coat and tie you thought you'd given to GoodwillYou toss his fav’rite shoes onto the pileYou see him in the faces of the boys he left behindAnd die a bit with ev’ry tiny smileBut only for a whileElizabeth:You learn to count the quiet winsAn hour with no unprompted tearsAnd not to count the deadly daysAs they fade into yearsYou learn to stand alone at lastSo brave, and bold, and strong, and stoutYou learn somehow to like the darkAnd even love the doubtYou learn to hold your life inside youAnd never let it outYou learn to live and dieAnd then to liveYou learn to live withoutYou learn to live withoutYou learn to live without
