That's Why - Michael McDonald

By michael mcdonald &randy goodrum

Look back loneliness, you wont see me behind you

Hey now emptiness, no more leading the way

Go on desperateness, I dont need you beside me no more

Come on happiness, I can feel you gaining ground

Hey now foolishness, I might keep you around

Go on emptiness, I wont look behind me no more

I dont rule you out, I know youre there

But Im on to you now

Thats why, I wont be down very long

Thats why, Ill be all right from now on Thats why, I get stronger everytime

Thats why, I know this heart will survive

After youre gone

You know I believe all we really have is time

No use worrying, no use wondering why

cause through it all, were only here to laugh and cry

Its meant to be that failure only brings another way

Every heartache always has another day

Come on loneliness, I dont need to hide you no more

I dont rule you out, I know youre there

But Im on to you now
