Lyrics

The Only Thing

(Follett/Gambin)


Last night I didnt close my eyes, waited for the sun to rise, you slept.

Went downstairs put coffee on, thought to myself whats goin on? I wept.


As the taxi pulled up in the drive, I just hated for it to arrive.

All our precious memories came rushing straight down through my eyes.


Chorus 1

Guess I might be headin in the wrong direction;

it breaks my heart to break this connection, yeah.

I wonder if youre thinkin that I wont be comin,

back into you arms honey Ill be running, yeah.

Oh sometimes life gets rearranged;

but my love for you will never change.

Our love is all that matters;

its the only thing that stays the same.


Time feels like its standing still; I cant warm this winter chill, I think,

about you & our little child, and like a sunset suddenly, I sink.


I just cant make no sense of it all; I try to be strong but I finally fall.

Then I get to thinkin realizin it aint worth it at all.


Chorus 2.

Guess I was headin in the wrong direction;

it broke my heart to break this connection, yeah.

So honey dont be thinking that I wont be comin,

back into you arms baby Ill be running, yeah.

Oh sometimes life gets rearranged.

But my love for you will never change.

Our love is all that matters;

its the only thing that stays the same.


Repeat Chorus 2.
