Lyrics Rodney Crowell

Rodney Crowell

Adam's Song

We don't wanna say goodbye

We don't wanna feel that empty

But it's time to face the dawn

Head on

Then there's something in the wind

When the days go getting shorter

And the nights run cold and clear

Down here

Taking each new day to give

What we need to do our part

We'll keep 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

And we can see you in the stars

Come some vivid night in November

And 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

We'll keep learning how to live

With a lifelong broken heart

We're just learning how to live

With a lifelong broken heart
