Short Stories

Have you ever been up
 Have you ever been down
 Have you ever been lost
 Have you ever been found
 Have you ever been right
 Have you ever been wrong
 Have you come up short
 Can you come along
 Have you left a mark
 Have you left alone
 Have you seen the way
 Can you come back home
 CHORUS
 >Short stories
 >That's what we live
 >Short stories
 >Babe just take what they will give
 >Short stories
 >That's all it's ever been
 >Don't you worry 'bout the ending
 >Babe, before we begin
 I have seen the sun
 That's behind the rain
 I have felt the joy
 That's behind the pain
 Did you ever go soft
 Did you ever run wild
 I've been a hundred years old
 I been a newborn child
 I have found a smile in the midst of tears
 And I can find a heart in the midst of fear
 CHORUS
 Don't you know I need you near me
 Or my happy ending's gone
 And I see now so very clearly
 That our story must go on
 and on!
 If I give myself
 Can I ask for you
 If I give you hope
 Can we make it through
 You know I need a dream
 Like I need my breath
 We need to take the life
 Before we get the death
 You know I need your love
 Just like I need the light
 Yes I need the chance
 Can it be tonight?
 CHORUS
