Cloudy Going On Her

For a little peace in any season I'd give up anything but your love I don't want to trade, trying to be happy That's only playing anyway But if I dream about it, it makes me wonder For every good thing, must you get bad But I won't worry, and if I'm living on borrowed time I'm gonna keep on the way I'm going Keep on the way I'm going For every crime, there's retribution And every valley has a mountainside No, I don't like to trade just to be happy That kind of deal won't turn out right See it is no good to stare inside yourself too long For every true thing there's one more lie But I won't worry cause if I'm living on borrowed time I'll just try to keep on the way I'm going Keep on the way I'm going See it is no good to stare inside yourself too long For every true thing there's one more lie But I won't worry cause if I'm living on borrowed time I'll just try to keep on the way I'm going Keep on the way I'm going

I stood before God, my family and friends And vowed that I'd never love anyone else again Only him As pure as my gown of white I stood by his side And promised that I'd love him till the day I died Lord, please forgive me even though I lied 'Cause you're the only one who knows just how hard I tried Chorus: I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands The woman in me needed the warmth of a man The gold turned cold in my wedding band It's just a ring on your finger When there's time on your hands When I add up all the countless nights I cried myself to sleep And all the broken promises you somehow failed to keep He can't blame me He's the one who left me too many times alone In a three bedroom prison I tried to make a home My love slowly died but the fire inside still burned And the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn Repeat Chorus Repeat Chorus
