Lyrics for Forty Days
Just like the river Just like the sky Same as the distance Between you and I So far away, but Right by my side For all forty days And all forty nights I waited so patient And I didn't cry Time is so fragile While I'm still alive Shine your light down on me Hold me while I'm lonely Guide me to a love that was made special for me And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop You lose and win sometimes And oh, ain't it a crime To fall and never get back up To hide and never test your luck And, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop How'd you get those scars, baby? Loving ain't that hard, baby Letting go and holding on ain't get you very far lately 'Cause you love and you lose But you still get to choose If you can't let it in then who's loving you? Oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop You lose and win sometimes And oh, ain't it a crime To fall and never get back up To hide and never test your luck And, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop Shine your light down on me (shine your light) Hold me while I'm lonely (hold me while) Guide me to a love that was made special for me And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop, oh And it don't stop As much as we try to pretend love is this easy thing It's not, no matter the relationship that you have Love is complicated Whether it is love with your children, a partner, family, friends Love is complicated, and We pretend that it's this easy thing, and it shouldn't hurt But I don't think that that's true
