I came to you in dark despair

I needed someone who would care

You held me close against your heart

I felt a warmth right from the start

Then one day he took you away

Why did it happen who can say

Now all that there is left for me

Is just a precious memory

That's life that's life

You take the joy you take the sorrow

That's life that's life

You're here today and gone tomorrow

My iife has crumbled since you've gone

But somehow I must carry on

The pain I feel I can't describe

I can't forget you though I've tried

Each night I say a little prayer

That when he takes me you'll be there

Together once again we'll be

I'll live again my memory

That's life that's life

You take the joy you take the sorrow

That's life that's life

You're here today and gone tomorrow

That's life that's life

You take the joy you take the sorrow

That's life that's life

You're here today and gone tomorrow
