That's Why
By michael mcdonald & randy goodrum
Look back loneliness, you won't see me behind you
Hey now emptiness, no more leading the way
Go on desperateness, i don't need you beside me no more
Come on happiness, i can feel you gaining ground
Hey now foolishness, i might keep you around
Go on emptiness, i won't look behind me no more
I don't rule you out, i know you're there
But i'm on to you now
Chorus:
That's why, i won't be down very long
That's why, i'll be all right from now on
That's why, i get stronger everytime
That's why, i know this heart will survive
After you're gone
You know i believe all we really have is time
No use worrying, no use wondering why
'cause through it all, we're only here to laugh & cry
It's meant to be that failure only brings another way
Every heartache always has another day
Come on loneliness, i don't need to hide you no more
I don't rule you out, i know you're there
But i'm on to you now
Chorus:
