    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written back in the 70's and was inspired by Marvin Gaye's blockbuster hit album "What's Goin' On ?". I actually played an orchestra gig on trombone behind Marvin Gaye during that time at the Kennedy Center here in DC. Backstage after the show as he passed a group of us in the wings, he paused and shock my hand. Needless to say, I didn't wash that hand for about a month hoping some of his musical genius might rub off on me :O)

    Lyrics
    Learnin' to love is learnin' to live
    And learnin' to live is learnin' to give
    Giving each other a helping hand
    Givin' our brother all that we can
    Wo o o o o !

    And learnin' to live is learnin' to love
    Learnin' to give is learnin' to love
    Givin' our brother a lift if he's down
    Givin' each other a smile not a frown
    Wo o o o o o o !

    We need to learn how to live
    We need to learn how to love
    We need to learn how to give
    We need to learn how to love
    Wo o o o o !

    In each of our minds a little world turns
    So much to see and too much to learn
    Yet never to learn love or ever try givin'
    We're breathin' the air
    But not really livin'
    Learnin' to love is learnin' to live
    And learnin' to live (is) learnin' to give
    Giving each other a helping hand
    Givin' each other all that we can
    Wo o o o o !

    We need to learn how to love
    We need to learn how to live
    We need to learn how to love
    We need to learn how to live
    We need to learn how to love

    Wo o o o o !
