She had it all, but woke up one day
|
Find he was walking out with nothing left to say.
|
Just determined to live a life without her.
|
|
He left a note she couldn¡¯t read
|
Blinded by tears, she felt she couldn¡¯t breathe.
|
As she pondered she wondered what to do.
|
|
All I could say was
|
Give it just a little while, just a little while,
|
Things will get better.
|
Give it just a little while, just a little while,
|
The angels will do their thing.
|
Just a little while, just a little while,
|
You¡¯ll feel like smiling again.
|
|
She cried the tears, picked up a laugh,
|
Still had to be a mother while she was not his wife.
|
As the years passed she prayed and asked and he answered.
|
|
And all I can say is
|
It¡¯s only been a little while, just a little while
|
And it¡¯s already better.
|
It¡¯s only been a little while, just a little while,
|
See, the angels are doing their thing.
|
It¡¯s been a little while, just a little while.
|
|
He may never apologize for the pain and broken heart,
|
But she¡¯ll always remember how she loved him
|
And so the day she forgives him.
|
|
Now that she¡¯s old she chooses to say
|
That she will not complain, but thank God for everything.
|
Now her kids are grown and went on their own, but makes her happy.
|
And deep in her heart she still thinks of him,
|
She wonders how he is and does he love her, still
|
In a simple way, she¡¯s rebuild a life that¡¯s lovely.
|
|
I just remind her,
|
I know it¡¯s been a little while, just a little while,
|
But things sure got better.
|
I know it¡¯s been a little while, just a little while,
|
The angels did their thing.
|
It¡¯s been a little while and we¡¯re all so much better.
|
I know it¡¯s been a little while, just a little while,
|
But it¡¯s good to see you smile.
