Lyrics for That's All, Amen, Close The Door

That's all. That's all there was. Say Amen. Close the door. She gave as much as she had to give Please don't ask for more Please don't ask for more That's all. The curtain's down. The lights are up. Go home. Did I care? Was I in love? In love enough to know In love enough to know There's precious few that line that road She welled from deep and overflowed There's no cup to hold the past Too rich to drink, too rich to last That's all Well, you wish But don't wish for me As if a wish Could cheat the fall Oh just believe And leave it be There's beauty in what's brief There's beauty in what's small That's all There's some who dare and some who shine And some who only drag behind And some who reap what others sow When memories fail well who's to know That's all. That's all there was. Say Amen. Close the door. She gave as much as she had to give Oh please don't ask for more Please don't ask for more That's all
