Even As It All Goes By

Beth Nielsen Chapman, Annie Roboff
You could spend your whole life wanting what you don't have
Tangled in the pain and strife, dragging up the ghosts of your past
You can curse the rain, but the river remains
Even as it all goes by...
Baby its a long road to the promised land
And there are dreams we hold in the palm of our hands
But we can never know how the promise will end
Even as it all goes by
Flying through the hourglass like a grain of sand
Every moment opens right in our hands
So love me like a slow dance on a fast train
Kiss me as the world flies past and the sceneries change
And as time rolls through I will hold on to you
Even as it all goes by
Flying through the hourglass like a grain if sand
Every moment opens right in our hands
As fleeting as the first light on a window sill
Reaching through the darkest night, it can never be still
Like the earth that spins,where it ends it begins
Even as it all goes by, even as it all goes by
Either way it all goes by
