I have seen snow that fell in May I have seen rain on cloudless days Some things are always better changed Cause there ain't no ash will burn Love is a precious thing I'm told Burns just like west Virginia coal But when the fire burns out it's cold And there ain't no ash will burn You say this life is not your lot But I can't be something that I'm not Can't stoke a fire that we ain't got Cause there ain't no ash will burn Love is a precious thing I'm told Burns just like west Virginia coal But when the fire burns out its cold And there ain't no ash will burn In every life there comes a time When they'll be no more tears to cry You must leave something dear behind Cause there ain't no ash will burn Love is a precious thing I' told Burns just like west Virginia coal But when the fire burns out its cold And there ain't no ash will burn If there's one thing I have learned There ain't no ash will burn
