Lyrics Only for a While - Anita Baker

For a little while we know what heartache is
And we feel the pain the world can sometimes bring
For a little while we cry in the night without a single song to sing
But one day all will change, there will be no more stormy rain
Then at last we will rest forever more

So if you're in the valley
(If you're in the valley now)
And life is so unkind
(Life is so unkind)
And if your tears keep falling
(If your tears keep falling)
From your tired eyes
(From your eyes)

Your burden seem so heavy
(Your burden seem so heavy now)
And its hard to smile
(So hard to smile)
You must remember
(You better remember)
It's only for a while

For a little while, well, you lose someone you love
And you miss the time 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
(If you're in the valley now)
And life is so unkind
(Life is so unkind)
And if your tears keep falling
(If your tears keep falling)
From your tired eyes
(From your eyes)

Your burden seem so heavy
(Your burden seem so heavy now)
And it's hard to smile so hard to smile
(So hard to smile)
Oh, you gotta remember, you gotta remember
It's only for a while

You better remember, gotta remember
It's only for a while
Oh, yes remember
It's only for a while
