Rodney Crowell - Adam's Song lyrics

We don't want to say goodbye we don't want to feel that empty

But it's time to face the dawn head on

When there's something in the wind when the days go getting shorter

And the nights run cold and clear down here

We'll take each new day to give what we need to do our part

While were learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart

And we never will forget it's a privilege to remember

The sound of days gone past will last

We can see you in the stars come some vivid night in November

With the last few leaves that fall recall

Surely each new day will give what we need to do our part

To keep learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart

Oh you beautiful one so clearly a gift life had designs of its own

To set you adrift

So go lightly where you must travel soft upon new wings

You will never be alone go on

When we cannot understand when we cannot find new meaning

We'll seek out the ones you loved and love

Taking each new day to give what we need to do our part

To keep learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart

Were just learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart
