All A Man Can Do

ALL A MAN CAN DO

You’re never ready to hear goodbye
Nothing prepares you for the light going out in her eyes
And all the colors in your world
Fading away, running after that girl
And the pain hanging around like an echo going on and on and on and on

And you try to make it all make sense
The hows, the whys and the rest of it
Staring at her untouched pillow all night long
Then you finally cry yourself to sleep
And she comes back to you in your dreams
And you wake up in the morning just to find that she’s still gone
And you pray that today some way that woman’s memory turns you loose
And that’s all a man can do, that’s all a man can do

You keep on going but you don’t know how
You’re gonna get to tomorrow when you’re barely getting through right now
So you go through the motions and hopelessly hope
And you grab that knot at the end of your rope
And you do your damnedest to just keep hanging on and on and on and on

And you try to make it all make sense
The how’s, the why’s and the rest of it
Staring at her untouched pillow all night long
Then you finally cry yourself to sleep
And she comes back to you in your dreams
And you wake up in the morning just to find that she’s still gone
And you pray that today some way that woman’s memory turns you loose
And that’s all a man can do

INSTRUMENTAL

And you pray that some day some way that woman’s memory turns you loose
And that’s all a man can do, that’s all a man can do
That’s all a man can do, that’s all a man can do
