Ain't That Just The Way

He was a very special, warm and gentle person

Who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme

And it hurts me that I never really knew him

Cause all it would have taken was some time

You know he always seems to be there when I stumbled

And when mountains got too steep for me to climb

And it tears me up to think I never touched him

Cause all it would have taken was some time

(Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah)

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down?

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Not gettin' into someone I should know

Now he's in another place and I can't reach him

And I feel, as though I'm guilty of a crime

I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'

And all it would have taken was some time

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down?

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin' into someone I should know

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down?

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Not gettin' into someone I should know

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down?

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Not gettin' into someone I should know

Ain't that just the way that life goes
