Ain't That Just The Way

-----------------------------

He was a very special

Warm and gentle person

Who put music in the world

And spoke in rhyme

And it hurts me

That I never really knew him

Cause all it would have taken

Was some time

You know he always seemed

To be there when I stumbled

And when mountains

Got to steep for me to climb

And it tears me up

To think I never touched him

`Cause all it would have taken

Was some time

Ain't that just the way life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no,no, nowhere

But not gettin'

Into someoneI should know

Now he's in another place

And I can't reach him

And I feel

As though I'm guilty of a crime

I took all he had to give

And gave him nothin'

And all it would have taken

Was some time

Ain't that just the way life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin'

Into someone I should know
