Mindy McCready - Let's Talk About Love lyrics

There's a little girl across
The railroad tracks
From the poor side of town
The only clothes that she has ever known
Are some worn out jeans
Her brother handed down
But everyday on the way to school
She sees a homeless in the street
She takes a quarter she saved for milk
And lays it on the sidewalk at her feet

Talk about love, true love
Talk about reaching out
When the whole world's given up
We hold the power to change a
Life with just one touch
Come on, let's talk about love
There's a little boy in a private room
Who's living way beyond his fears
He sees the promise that each new day brings
'Cause he knows he might not
Be here next year
He tells jokes that make the children laugh
Which makes their parents cry

It's just a shame it takes tragedy
To make us see the beauty in this life

Talk about love, true love
Talk about reaching out
When the whole world's given up
We hold the power to change a
Life with just one touch
Come on, let's talk about love

And looking back there was a man
Who came from Gallice
Whose only crime was loving man
So they nailed him to a tree

Talk about love, true love
Talk about reaching out
When the whole world's given up
We hold the power to change a
Life with just one touch
Come on, let's talk about love
Come on, let's talk about love
