Don Williams - The Answer lyrics

For the life of me Ya know I can't recall My father giving mighty words of wisdom But the more I live I see The greatest gift of all Is how I always knew for sure He was Listening To a million questions I felt like a fool to ask When I'd ask him for an answer He'd just laugh And say the more I learn the more I learn how little that I know But I'm close to understanding Just how far I have to go We give our hearts We take our chances And know the fool ain't the one With all the questions To tell the truth it's someone who Believes they have the answer In the years since then When my children come Pouring out their hearts This old world has broken I do the listening I see what good it does When less not more is spoken And when they press me hard to tell them What the answer is I remember well and simply Offer this And say the more I learn the more I learn how little that I know But I'm close to understanding Just how far I have to go We give our hearts We take our chances And know the fool ain't the one With all the questions To tell the truth it's someone who Believes they have the answer And say the more I learn the more I learn how little that I know But I'm close to understanding Just how far I have to go We give our hearts We take our chances And know the fool ain't the one With all the questions To tell the truth it's someone who Believes they have the answer
