Lyrics
GOD GAVE US TO ONE ANOTHER words and music by Yarrow Ann
©2006 Yarrow Ann Pellbring
(verse)
I've got a head full of blue songs
A heart full of you
And nobody I can talk to
After all this time I guess I thought that you were mine
I was wrong and I apologize
(chorus)
I thought that God gave us to one another
To give comfort and shelter from the storm
It wasn't long before I saw those dark clouds coming
And now I'm left here standing in the rain
(verse)
I've got a postcard and some letters that you wrote me
Told me you were lost without my love
But the only thing you lost was your devotion
And now I'm left here still in love with you
(chorus)
I thought that God gave us to one another
To give comfort and shelter from the storm
It wasn't long before I saw those dark clouds coming
And now I'm left here standing in the rain
