02br
00and so we must all learn from small misfortunes. 0-

0Thanks a lot for your explanation.02br
02br
00I have never realized that can go with the next part!!0-

0Hold on....I checked again, the "next part" is start with a capital!! How can go with that part?02br
02br
00For nothing is more precious02br
00than the time we have and so02br
02br
00We all must learn from small misfortunes02br
00count the blessings that are real0-

0 You are very observant!02br
00In poetry (don't forget that many songs are poems put to music), it is very common to capitalize the first word of every 01b00line02b00, regardless of punctuation of the sentences involved. 0-

0Thank you! You let me know what I haven't known about poetry.02br
02br
00However, in the file, there is an empty line between the two parts:02br
02br
00For nothing is more precious02br
00than the time we have and so02br
02br
00We all must learn from small misfortunes02br
00count the blessings that are real02b

0It doesn't matter. Grammatically, "And so..." goes with what follows. Lyrics, like other forms of poetry, don't follow the rules of standard, written English.0-

0Fine, poetry try to make it sound nice and doesn't mind to break the gramma. Thank you so much for all your helps.02br
02br

02br
00"then at lea

0 Since it is a poem, the last word, 'home' or 'hope' might rhyme with the last word of a preceding line (one or two lines before). 0-

0Then, can you tell me that is 'home' or 'hope' ? I think my listening is very bad.0-
