Lyrics
For The Life Of Me
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.
How can there be a song without the music
How can there be a wave without the sea
The lighting needs a thunder as a speaking voice
And I must have you for the life of me
How can there be a baby with no crying
A future with no past can never be
A humming bird can't live unless it's free to fly
And I must have you for the life of me
I know that sunshine follows rain I know that pleasure follows pain
And I know that I must have you somehow
Every ship waits for the crue and every road waits for the dew
But I need you right now
How can there be an end with no beginning
So run to me I'm waiting helplessly
And break these shackles of impatience make me live
For I must have you for the life of me
