lyrics

They say things happen for a reason
That the pain gets muddled by time oh time
They say that life is a short one
So live each day and drink some wine

But this mantra has its beginning
Has its middle and its end oh end
Well I'm no further from the valleys
That I left oh way back when

She comes in somber then she sits
Her swollen eyes are hinting tears
She has a reason that she's slipping
Feeling older than her years

She's telling me her mother
Is now facing a holy sun oh sun
I know she's been there with her father
Back in March I think it was

I say I'm sorry and wish for time
There's nothing worse than hurting twice oh twice
In the same year in the same year
I wish for words that could suffice

But nothing can I've been there too
And I know what she's going through
I figure that we all go somewhere
Just name the place I'll be there too

Loving you loving you
loving you loving you
That is all I want to do
In my life is love you

We've been better we've been smiling
We've been happy seen better days oh days
Seen the golden grey horizon
Slipping in to Georgian Bay

Seen the red leaves of Algonquin
In the Autumn early North oh North
Seen the white rock of Killarney
And have walked along the shore

Seen what matters know the difference
Had the feeling of losing it all oh it all
They say that life is a short one
So live each day and have a ball

They say that life is a short one
So live each day and have a ball
