Lyrics
Verse:
You don't always know the answer,
You're often wondering why.
You can't always see the reason,
You feel you're left high and dry.
Life tests your faith every day,
Never black and white,
Only shades of gray.
Refrain:
Isn't that the way the story goes,
An ending God only knows.
Isn't that the way the story goes,
That's life, I suppose.
Verse:
You look around and think to yourself,
Why does it seem so unfair.
Then you think of your wife and kids,
And you're glad you're there.
You have your doubts, try to sort things out,
The picture's never perfect,
Some things never fit.
Refrain:
Isn't that the way the story goes,
An ending God only knows.
Isn't that the way the story goes,
That's life, I suppose.
Verse:
I'd like to sit and watch the sunset,
Count the stars up in the sky.
I'd like to hear you say I love you,
In the moment 'fore I die.
Time has a way of slipping past,
Never stopping, never slowing,
Moving way too fast.
Refrain:
Isn't that the way the story goes,
An ending God only knows.
Isn't that the way the story goes,
That's life, I suppose.
