lyrics

the day that I get to heaven
I hope that I
get to know why

all good things had to die,
at least for a while
and why while in this life
you sometimes left me cry

and why while married men
only live for their wives
the loneliest guys
sit around and wait
for their only God
to recognise their pain of being alive

ain’t it real enough for you?

how many times will you cry
seemingly in vain
is how many times I will soothe your pain
how many times will you shout
through the dark of night
is how many times I will show you light

the day that I get to heaven
I hope that I
get to know why

all good things had to die,
at least for a while
and why while in this life
you sometimes left me cry

and why while married men
only live for their wives
the loneliest guys
sit around and wait
for their only God
to recognise their pain of being alive

ain’t it real enough for you?

how many times will you cry
seemingly in vain
is how many times I will soothe your pain
how many times will you shout
through the dark of night
is how many times I will show you light

how many times is someone’s chance
to help me on my way taken away
by my own selfish act
is how many times you will lead me back

the day that I get to heaven
I’m sure that I
get to know why

all good things had to die,
at least for a while
and why while in this life
you sometimes left me cry

and why while married men
only live for their wives
the loneliest guys
sit around and wait
for their only God
to recognise their pain of being alive,
the darkness that’s inside them
they need the saviour
that originally gave them their painful life
