Randy Newman Days Of Heaven
Mom and Dad have passed away
Didn't love you anyway
But you sat there in your room
And cried for hours
Life is short and time is too
And there's nothing you or I can do
But watch the little birds and smell the pretty flowers
Baby it's a long hard road
Sometimes it's too much to bear
As long as you want me beside you
Darlin' I'll be there
Though the sun is shinin' bright
Still it seems like darkest night
There's not enough of anything, anywhere
No matter what you do
You just can't seem to make it through
Can't find anyone who really cares
You know a better world awaits us baby
Angels singing up on high
'Cause life is just anticipation of the Days of Heaven
Everybody gather 'round
Pick up what I'm puttin' down
Got to dig this crazy sound
It won't hurt you
If you got music in your heart
You have made a real good start
And your love of music never will desert you
Baby it's a long hard road
Sometimes it seems it's just too much to bear
When your foolish friends have desert you
You know that I'll be there
When your foolish friends desert you
You know that I'll be there
