The Only Thing I Can do
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You should know there will be days
When you pray for Sun but get the rain
When the tears fall down your pretty face
My love will blow the storm away
In the middle of a sleepless night
When your dreams are putting up a fight
And the words I say don't come out right
I'm still gonna be right by your side
Life is full of ups and downs
And I can't change the world around
The only thing that I can do
Is always keep on loving you
Now the road ain't always shiny gold
And happiness is hard to hold
But as our story is being told
My love for you it don't get old
