Lyrics Adam's Song - Rodney Crowell

We don't wanna say goodbye
We don't wanna feel that empty
But it's time to face the dawn
Head on

Then there's something in the wind
When the days go getting shorter
And the nights run cold and clear
Down here

Taking each new day to give
What we need to do our part
We'll keep learning how to live
With a lifelong broken heart

And we never will forget
It's a privilege to remember
The sound of days gone past
Will last

And we can see you in the stars
Come some vivid night in November
And with the last few leaves that fall
Recall

Surely each new day will give
What we need to do our part
To keep learning how to live
With a lifelong broken heart

Oh, you beautiful one
So clearly a gift
Life had designs of its own
To set you adrift

So go lightly where you must
Travel soft upon new wings
You will never be alone
Go on

When we cannot understand
When we cannot find new meaning
We'll seek out the ones you loved
And love

Taking each new day to give
What we need to do our part
We'll keep learning how to live
With a lifelong broken heart
We're just learning how to live
With a lifelong broken heart
