Lyrics:
God bless the child that don't have a mother
To put her fast asleep
God bless the father who's lost his lover
For whom his soul to keep
Sometimes it takes more than just walking away
To find you've lost
Sometimes it doesn't take a good friend to say
It's just time and it's gone
But that's the way it goes
It's just the way it goes
It's just the way it goes
It's just the way it goesIf you throw a penny into the Indian Ocean
Then jump right in
Three wise men can tap you on the shoulder
You'd jump right in
Sometimes it takes more than just throwing all away
To find you've lost
Sometimes it doesn't take a genius to say
It's just time and it's gone
But that's the way it goes
It's just the way it goes
It's just the way it goes
It's just the way it goesClose your eyes with all your might
But she's not there
Reach into to the blinding light
She's still not there
You made your choice now
Live with it
It's all you've got
Sometimes it doesn't take an image in the mirror to say
It's just time and it's gone
But that's the way it goes
It's just the way it goes...
