It's Just That Way

Here we have it

It's just that way

Whispers and pieces

Of  thoughts we pray

And maybe its true

That somehow, someday

We'll learn to let go

Because its best that way

Here we have it

I hear a door close

And footsteps begin fading...

Only God knows

The rhyme and the reason

Of good-byes and hellos

But here we have it

That's the way life goes

...and here we have it

The laughter and tears

Of loving and losing

Of days turned to years

Life is a ballroom

We pass through but once

Hold me closer

My darling, let's dance

Because here we have it

The bitter and sweet

Parting is simply

The road till we meet

So here we have it

The fall and the rise

Of pleasure and passion

Of hellos and good-byes

...yes, here we have it

A little thing called life

A culmination

Of sorrow and strife

A tender ballad

Of its highs and its lows

And where it will take us

Only God knows

...so we take love's chances

A faith-leap of dust

Over and over

We love and we trust

Here we have it

Love's dance in the rain

And darling, I know

We'd do it again
