I'll make you a promise today

That this family I'll never betray

Life sometimes fades away

Night is upon us

And I hope that this one never ends

The face of a woman

Whom I loved before I was a man I'm making some time

And I'm honest

In pain we can live till the end you know you're on my mind

And I promise

That I'll see you someday so for now I will just pray

Can't believe it's over

Life just gets in the way

Life just gets in the way

Your eyes were upon us

There are no words for how much that meant

This trace of my mother

And not enough days that we spent it was my selfish pride

And you taught us

There was no one to blame in the end bitter feelings reside

And it caught us

Before that day we set everything straight

Can't believe it's over

Life just gets in the way. Life just gets in the way

I remember the words that you said

Hearing them as I sat by your bed

Now life just gets in the way

Feeling the same everyday without you

Can't seem to find my way

Cold sweats in the night wake me from sleep

Thinking you're alright

Life just gets in the way

Life just gets in the way

I remember the words that you said

Hearing them as I sat by your bed

Now life just gets in the way

Oh, I'll make you a promise today that this family I'll never betray

Life sometimes fades away
