I was standing there Holding your hand In the dark of the night We was way past a prayer I felt you slipping away You were barely holding on Sometimes, sometimes All you got is Sometimes, sometimes All you got, ah Sometimes, sometimes All you've got is a song You put everything On your wedding ring And the health and happiness Of your family I watched you silently While I sat there watching silently Praying your rosary yeah Oh-oh I felt you slip away And I knew you wouldn't stay long Sometimes, sometimes All you got is Sometimes, sometimes All you got, ah Sometimes, sometimes All you've got is a song I'm gonna sing away the pain Like I always do, like I always do I'm gonna sing away the pain Until that morning light will break on through I'm gonna sing away the pain Somewhere over the rainbow I'm gonna sing away the pain And pray that all your pain goes When I felt you, felt you slipping away You held my hand, keeping me strong Sometimes, sometimes All you got is Sometimes, sometimes All you got, yeah Sometimes, sometimes All you've got is a song
