Only for a While

For a little while
We know what heartache is
And we feel the pain
This world can bring
And for a little while
We cry in the night
Without a single song to sing
But one day, all will change
There'll be no more stormy rain
Then at last we'll rest forevermore

So, if you're in the valley
And life is so unkind
And if the tears keep falling
From your tired eyes
If burdens seem so heavy
And if it's hard to smile
Then just remember
That it's only for a while

For a little whilе
You lose someone you lovе
And you miss the times together
That you shared
And 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
This too will pass in time

So, if you're in the valley
Oh, yeah, and life is so unkind
Oh, and if the tears keep falling
From your tired eyes
If burdens seem so heavy
And if it's hard to smile
Then just remember
That it's only for a while

If burdens seem so heavy
If it's hard to smile
Then just remember
That it's only for a while, oh...
