paroles de chanson Short Stories - Harry Chapin

Have you ever been up
Have you ever been down
Have you ever been lost
Have you ever been found
Have you ever been right
Have you ever been wrong
Have you come up short
Can you come along
Have you left a mark
Have you left alone
Have you seen the way
Can you come back home
CHORUS
>Short stories
>That's what we live
>Short stories
>Babe just take what they will give
>Short stories
>That's all it's ever been
>Don't you worry 'bout the ending
>Babe, before we begin
I have seen the sun
That's behind the rain
I have felt the joy
That's behind the pain
Did you ever go soft
Did you ever run wild
I've been a hundred years old
I been a newborn child
I have found a smile in the midst of tears
And I can find a heart in the midst of fear
CHORUS
Don't you know I need you near me
Or my happy ending's gone
And I see now so very clearly
That our story must go on
And on!
If I give myself
Can I ask for you
If I give you hope
Can we make it through
You know I need a dream
Like I need my breath
We need to take the life
Before we get the death
You know I need your love
Just like I need the light
Yes I need the chance
Can it be tonight?
CHORUS
