Things You'll Keep

Lyrics for Things You'll Keep

Sat outside the darkened house, reading one of your old letters I'd carried it from town to town Sometimes hoped for you things got better It says "We got a place by the river now, The rooms are full of light—it's still our town If there's such a thing as a second chance I want it now" That's what it says Things you'll keep Some things you were never meant to lose The things you keep Some things the world cannot refuse The things you keep Thought there was a way out, So you took it on your hands and knees What if your best days are done? How do you plead? Day to day is a hurting thing You're tired of all beauty and you Said goodbye to your baby face And just about everything Things you'll keep Some things you were never meant to lose The things you keep Some things the world cannot refuse The things you keep Everybody was skinny then Nobody said you wouldn't win You said goodbye to your baby face Then just about everything Things you'll keep Some things you were never meant to lose The things you keep Some things the world cannot refuse Things you'll keep Everybody was skinny then Everybody was skinny then Nobody said you wouldn't win You said goodbye to your baby face Then just about everything How do you plead? How do you plead? How do you plead? How do you plead? How do you plead?
