Answers Don't Come Easy Lyrics
She's putting away the baby clothes
There'll be no child for her to hold
Not even a chance to say goodbye
And there aren't any words to tell her why
She says "This is all I've ever wanted
This is the star I hung my hopes upon
Now all that I have are these empty arms"
"There was a time when I could bravely face the storm
Oh but answers don't come easy anymore
Today, I can only trust
Your hands are strong enough
To hold me up
When answers don't come easy anymore"
At a table for two he sits alone
Never dreamed that she'd be the first to go
He says "You turn around twice and years have passed
Now these memories are all I have
She is sailing over the horizon
But still I'm waving from the shore
And I'm wondering what I'm still here for"
We need You to hold us close
We don't need to know the answers
We just need You near to us
