Strum

D-DU-UDU

Aha-ooh! ooh

Pray God you can cope.

I'll stand outside

This woman's work,

This woman's world.

Ooh, it's hard on the man.

Now his part is over.

Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.

I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking:

All the things I should have said, but I never said.

All the things we should have done, but we never did.

All the things I should have given, but I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,

Make it go away!

Give me these moments back.

Give them back to me.

Give me that little kiss.

Give me your

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.

I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should have said, but I never said.

All the things we should have done, but we never did.

All the things that you needed from me.

All the things that you wanted for me.

All the things that I should have given, but I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.

Just make it go away now.
