God Only Knows

Lyrics for God Only Knows

Darkness settles on the ground And leaves the day stumbling blind, Coming to a quiet close And maybe just in time: We'd almost lost the heart to know How to keep our best in mind, We'd almost lost the heart to know How to keep our best in mind. Time has turned an angry face And throws a dark eye back to see That what will pass for mercy now We practice unforgiving. As if might and will mode right Or either one could make us free, As if might and will made right Or either one could make us free. Lovers laugh and cross this way Weaving out into the street, It seems we never were so young Or it was never quite so sweet. But the world is always beautiful When it's seen in full retreat, The worst of life looks beautiful As it slips away in full retreat. God only knows that we can do No more or lass than He'll allow, God only knows that we mean well God knows that we just don't know how. But I'll try to be your light in love And pray that is enough for now, I'll try to be your light in love And pray that is enough for now.
