Rodney Crowell - Adam's Song lyrics

We don't want to say goodbye we don't want to feel that empty But it's time to face the dawn head on Then there's something in the wind when the days go getting shorter And the nights run cold and clear down here Takin' each new day to give what we need to do our part We'll keep learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart And we never will forget it's a privilege to remember The sound of days gone past will last And we can see you in the stars come some vivid night in November And with the last few leaves that fall recall Surely each new day will give what we need to do our part To keep learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart Oh you beautiful one so clearly a gift life had designs of its own To set you adrift So go lightly where you must travel soft upon new wings You will never be alone go on When we cannot understand when we cannot find new meaning We'll seek out the ones you loved and love Taking each new day to give what we need to do our part We'll keep learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart We're just learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart
