God Only Knows

Darkness settles on the ground

Leaves the day stumbling blind

Coming to a quiet close

And maybe just in time

We almost lost the heart to know

How to keep our best in mind

We almost lost the heart to know

How to keep our best in mind

Time has turned an angry face

Throws a dark eye back to sea

What will pass for mercy now

We practice unforgivingly

As if might and will make right

Or either one will make us free

As if might and will make right

Or either one will make us free

Lovers laugh and cross this way

Weaving out and into the street

It seems we never were so young

Or it was never quite so sweet

But the world is always beautiful

When it's seen in full retreat

The worst of life is beautiful

As it slips away in full retreat

God only knows that we can we do

No more or less than he'll allow

God only knows that we mean well

God knows that we just don't know how

But I'll try to be your light in love

And pray that is enough for now

I'll try to be your light in love

And pray that is enough for now

I'll pray that is enough for now

I'll pray that is enough for now

I'll pray that is enough for now

I'll pray that is enough for now
