Lyrics for Bless His Ever Loving Heart

Bless his ever loving heart Only he knows who you are He may seem so very far Bless his ever loving heart And when your feeling sad And everywhere you look You can't believe the things you see When it all comes down so bad And beauty lies exhausted in the streets Hold his ever loving hand Even when you do not understand Sorrow has it's natural end Hold his ever loving hand And when your feeling low And everyone you meet You can't believe the things they say When there's no place left to go Where someone isn't moving You a little further down the way Bless his ever loving heart What you do is what you are When it all comes down so hard Bless his ever loving heart Hold his ever loving hand When it seems you ain't got a friend Only he knows who you are and what you are Bless his ever loving heart Bless his ever loving heart
