The Way It Goes

The Way It Goes

The way it goes

Someday, when my dreams won't come true

I'll turn to you

When I need some tenderness to hold onto

What will you do?

Honey, can I count on you?

The way it goes

This world may not give me a thing

But I'll still sing

And any blessings that may fall

We will share them all, together

Are you with me so far?

If you know the way it goes

If you want to go with me

I'll be there when you need me to

I'll be good as I can be

I don't care which way it goes

If you will love me every day

If you say, any way, it goes

You won't let me go

That will do, I'll go with you

The way it goes

I've seen how the best things go bad

It's oh so sad

And I know you've seen it too

There are so few

Who make it through

So when the sun's shining blue

The way it goes

I need someone who will believe What I believe

There will come a brighter day

If we work, and we pray, together

Oh, how sweet it can be

If you know the way it goes

If you wanna go with me

I'll be there if you need me to

I'll be good as I can be

I won't care which way it goes

If you will love me every day

If you say any way it goes

That will do

I'll go with you

(Saxophone solo)

If you know the way it goes

If you wanna go with me

I'll be there when you need me to

I'll be good as I can be

I won't care the way it goes

If you will love me every day

If you say any way it goes you won't let me go

That will do

If you know the way it goes

If you wanna go with me

I'll be there when you need me to

I'll be good as I can be

I won't care the way it goes

If you will love me every day

If you say any way it goes you won't let me go

That will do

I'll go with you
