Lyrics

Why are we laughing now, acting like we're not,
when we know we are
What would it take and how, to keep it all together,
seems we've come that far
But I know, in the end we'll feel this way, all that's left to say

When are the glory days, maybe they pass on by,
without us knowing why
How did we find our way, nothing to deny, all we did was try

And I'm sure, in the end we'll feel this way, no matter what they say
And I hope, that we both take time to pray
So much left to do, it's up to me and you, don't let it fade away
Dear, how did we end up here, sharing hopes and fears,
don't let it fade away

Oh, though the feeling, comes and goes each day
I'll hang, from the ceiling, before we fade away

Sometimes we may feel strung too tight
And other time everything works out right
And we do, Lord God helps us, we do (we do), we do (we do)

We never seem to have enough to pay the bills
Wolf at the door has us headin' for the hills
We do, ahh Lord God helps us, we do (we do, we do, we do, we do)
Without us knowing why, nothin' to deny, all we do is try

Whew! So much left to do, it's up to me and you,
don't let it fade away
Dear, how did we end up here, sharing hopes and fears,
don't let it fade away
So much left to say, before we fade away, before we fade away
