I've Done Everything I Can Lyrics

I've Done Everything I Can

I love to hear you laughing
love to see you smile
Dance that little dance you danced
When you were just a child
The way the world came at you
Left you bitter and confused
The more I tried to guide your past
The more you just felt used

The sun comes up tomorrow
But there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby
It can knock you to your knees
The path that lies between us
Is a star-crossed avenue
I've done everything I can
There's nothing I can do

So you love that girl to death
And you're scared to take a breath
It's like everything you dread
Swings a hammer in your head
So her heart's locked in a vault
And you think it's all your fault
It's a dream as old as dirt
You can't stand to see her hurt
May the little voice that guides you
Send a message through from me
Reminding you you're beautiful
And will forever be
I wish that I could be there now
To tell you it's all right
It's a dark and daunting razor's edge
You're walking on tonight

The sun comes up tomorrow
But there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby
It can knock you to your knees
The path that lies between us
Is a rough and rocky rue
I've done everything I can
There's nothing I can do

So you're learning to let go
And the process is so slow
And while your baby plumbs the depths
You keep climbing up the steps
She was daddy's little girl
You were ruler of the world
And now she's out there in the fray
But she'll be back someday
You've heard me say a million times
My work is never done
For those who keep the wolves at bay
There is no setting sun
To see you standing here today pray tell you've come so far
Which proves that you can find your way
No matter where you are

The sun comes up tomorrow
But there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby
It can knock you to your knees
The path that lies between us is the long way home, it's true
I've done everything I can
And there's nothing I can do
I've done everything I can
Look at you
