Mama won't you tell my why The stars will only shine at night And pretty things must live to die I curse the everlasting sky She said my sweet boy please dry your eyes Don't search for reasons you can't find After hopeless darkness comes the light Day erases blackest night Ohh when the winter wind comes crashing in And you feel you'll never dream again If it seems like nothing good can last I promise you this too shall pass I promise you this too shall pass I have seen the surging ocean rise And drift away through shifting tides And the secrets that it left behind They fade away before my eyes Ohh when the winder wind comes crashing in And you feel you'll never dream again If it seems like nothing good can last I promise you this too shall pass I promise you this too shall pass Ohh-oh-oh Ohh-oh-oh Ohh-oh-ohh ohh Oh-oh-ohh-oh-oh Ohh-oh-oh (ohh-ohh) Ohh-oh-oh oh Oh when the winter wind comes crashing in And you feel you'll never dream again If it seems like nothing good can last I promise you this too shall pass Yeah, I promise you this too shall pass I promise you this too shall pass
