ANITA BAKER lyrics - Only For A While

(Dawn Thomas)



For a little while

We know what heartache is

And we feel the pain the world can sometimes bring

For a while

We cry in the night

Without a single song to sing

But one day all will change

There'll be no more stormy rain

Then at last we will rest forevermore



So if you're in the valley

And life is so unkind

And, if the tears keep falling

From your tired eyes

If burdens seem so heavy

And it's hard to smile

Then just remember

It's only for a while



For a little while

You lose someone you love

And miss the times together that you shared

For a little while

You feel all alone and scared

With no one there to hold

Oh, the nights get long and cold

But it won't last

It will pass in time



So if you're in the valley

And life is so unkind

And if the tears keep falling

From your tired eyes

If burdens seem so heavy

If it's hard to smile

Then just remember

It's only for a while
