You Don't Count the Cost

It happens to a mother when she is giving birth Her heart is filled with joy, while her body's filled with hurt She holds her baby close to her despite the pain he caused When it comes to love you don't count the cost It happens to a soldier fighting for his home Fear wells up inside him and yet he still goes on Even though he knows he may be the next to fall When it comes to love you don't count the cost You don't count the heartache, you don't count the sacrifice 'Cause all that counts is what you feel inside And it doesn't really matter what is gained or what is lost When it comes to love, oh you don't count the cost It happens all around us each and every day Someone's giving all they've got for someone else's sake And if you ever doubt it just think about the cross When it comes to love you don't count the cost You don't count the heartache, you don't count the sacrifice 'Cause all that counts is what you feel inside And it doesn't really matter what is gained or what is lost When it comes to love you don't count the cost No
