Ain't That Just the Way Lyrics

He was a very special warm and gentle person
who put music in the world and spoke in rhyme
and it hurts me that I never really knew him
'cause all it would have taken was some time
You know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled
and when mountains got too steep for me to climb
and it tears me up to think I never touched him
'cause all it would have taken was some time

Ain't that just the way that life goes down down down down
moving way too fast or much too slow
Getting up getting high getting down getting no no nowhere
not getting into someone I should know
Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
and I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
I took all he had to give and gave him nothing
and all it would have taken was some time

But ain't that just the way that life goes down down down down
moving way too fast or much too slow
Getting up getting high getting down getting no no nowhere
not getting into someone I should know
Ain't that just the way that life goes down down down down
moving way too fast or much too slow
Getting up getting high getting down getting no no nowhere
not getting into someone I should know

Getting up getting high getting down getting no no nowhere
Getting up getting high getting down getting no no nowhere
Getting up getting high getting down getting no no nowhere...
