Lyrics
Give it all away © Charles Harter, 2006
Dad: (song can be sung as a solo as well)
So I don't know now- - what I once knew then
I've forgotten somehow - can't remember when
And I worry somehow
that I worry too long
over things that don't matter
And then they're gone
And A good nights sleep - Is still a night away
And the steps to my heart seem to grow each day
And in matters of faith I can no longer believe
And in matters that matter - I strain to retrieve
Daughter:
Fretting and sweating your life away
Doesn't seem quite ok - Give it all away
Livin' and dwelling on forgotten dreams
doesn't make sense it seems
Give it all away
Dad:
But I don't know now- - what I once knew then
I've forgotten somehow can't remember when
And I worry somehow
that I worry too long
over things that don't matter
And then are gone
But A good nights sleep - Is still a night away
And the steps to my heart seem to grow each day
And in matters of faith I can no longer believe
And in matters that matter - I strain to retrieve
Daughter:
Fretting and sweating your life away
Doesn't seem quite ok - Give it all away
Livin' and dwelling on forgotten dreams
doesn't make sense it seems
Give it all away
Fretting and sweating your life away
Doesn't seem quite ok - Give it all away
Dad:
Livin' and dwelling on forgotten dreams
doesn't make sense it seems
Give it all away
