Where it gets so hard to see the sun shining.
Where it gets so hard to feel.
Where it gets so hard to understand.
Where it gets hard to sing my favorite song.
Where it gets so hard to dance to good music.
Where it gets hard to ask for help.
Where it gets hard to listen to good news.
Where it gets hard to be happy.
Where it gets hard to move without hurting.
Where it gets hard to move forward in life.
Where it gets hard to relax.
Where it gets hard to look at things around.
Where it gets hard to see the good out of the bad.
Where it gets hard to be a leader and not a follower.
Where it gets hard to release the angry inside.  
Where it gets hard to let someone go.
Where it gets hard to help someone you love.
Where it gets hard to hold back all your tears.
Where it gets hard to run, and feeling like you can't move.
Where it gets hard to see your self in the mirror.

your lost days will become better for you, it's only for right now, and not forever. move forward
We made plans in college
We'd graduate, then teach
But, a phone call from the doctor
put those plans out of reach

I remember sitting quietly
As I heard the old man say
"You're going to have a baby"
I guess Life Gets In The Way

Life Gets in The Way my dear
Life Gets in The Way
We'll put our plans on hold my dear
Until another day
Don't worry, things will all work out
No matter what folks say
We just have to face the fact my dear
That Life Gets In The Way

You quit to raise our children
We had two, one on the way
It's funny just what happens
When Life Gets in The Way

I remember that fall morning
The news the doctor had to say
It still hurts me to remember
When Life Gets In The Way

Life Gets in The Way my dear
Life Gets in The Way
We'll put our plans on hold my dear
Until another day
Don't worry, things will all work out
No matter what folks say
We just have to face the fact my dear
That Life Gets In The Way


Time has passed, there's grandkids now
Like you, they love the beach
Kelsey, Michael's  youngest
Wants to grow up and to teach

I wish that you could see them
As they run around and play
But, Cancer took you from me
Because Life Got in The Way

I think of you, your smile
And how you'd look at me and say
We will once more be together
Unless...Life Gets In The Way

Life Gets in The Way my dear
Life Gets in The Way
We'll put our plans on hold my dear
Until another day
Don't worry, things will all work out
No matter what folks say
We just have to face the fact my dear
That Life Gets In The Way
