'something you can learn' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'from your troubles sonny' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LESSON' is hidden in the letters of 'your troubles sonny'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lesson that I've seen before include "Piece of instruction" , "Sermon or lecture" , "Sermon or class session" , "Portion of the scriptures read in church" , "Cautionary tale" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
