Growin' old doesn't have to be about pain
Losing something you love leaves a wound that never heals
Watching her can strawberry jam in the morning
Was like watching the light
Through a stained-glass window hit the pew
And it's strange to think about angels being 'round here
I guess it makes it better
How a thought or a word can change your mind
But I've always been the kind of guy that loves a good story
If it was up to me
I'd sit with my legs crossed for days
Tell me why
Why the rains never came
Tell me why
Why the war took his legs
Tell me why
Why you smile
When you talk about how free she was
I just hope
They're all singin' this song with me
I just hope
They're all singin' the song with me
If you lose too much in life it turns to shame
But I swear
I still hear her call my name at night
My cure for pain is to go and tell a good story
You never know
That same story
Might give you faith too
Tell me why
Why the rains never came
Tell me why
Why the war took his legs
Tell me why
Why you smile
When you talk about how free she was
I just hope
They're all singin' this song with me
And I just hope
They're all singin' this song with me
Tell me why
Why the rains never came
Tell me why
Why the war took his legs
Tell me why
Why you smile
When ya talk about how free she was
I just hope
They're all singin' this song with me
I just hope
They're all singin' this song with me
I just hope
They're all singin' this song
With me
