كلمات
[Verse 1]
The paper says the river's high,
The radio keeps counting rain.
You set two cups beside the sink,
And ask me out to walk again.
[Pre-Chorus]
The whole wide world can wait a while,
Your hand is warm against my sleeve.
[Chorus]
Let the hard news roll on by,
Come on, love, let's take our time.
While this day is ours to hold,
Find a little joy before we're old.
Don't carry every heavy thing,
There's room to laugh, there's room to sing.
While we can, while we're alive,
Let's taste this moment, feel it arrive.
[Verse 2]
The shopkeeper is sweeping leaves,
A neighbor waves from number ten.
You buy a peach, we split it there,
And let the afternoon begin.
[Pre-Chorus]
The whole wide world can wait a while,
Your hand is warm against my sleeve.
[Chorus]
Let the hard news roll on by,
Come on, love, let's take our time.
While this day is ours to hold,
Find a little joy before we're old.
Don't carry every heavy thing,
There's room to laugh, there's room to sing.
While we can, while we're alive,
Let's taste this moment, feel it arrive.
[Bridge]
We can't mend every broken road,
Or turn the tide with one small song.
But here beneath this kitchen light,
We have enough to carry on.
[Harmonica Break]
[Final Chorus]
Let the hard news roll on by,
Come on, love, let's take our time.
While this day is ours to hold,
Find a little joy before we're old.
Don't carry every heavy thing,
There's room to laugh, there's room to sing.
While we can, while we're alive,
Let's taste this moment, feel it arrive.
[Outro]
While we can, while we're alive,
Stay here with me and feel it arrive.
The paper says the river's high,
The radio keeps counting rain.
You set two cups beside the sink,
And ask me out to walk again.
[Pre-Chorus]
The whole wide world can wait a while,
Your hand is warm against my sleeve.
[Chorus]
Let the hard news roll on by,
Come on, love, let's take our time.
While this day is ours to hold,
Find a little joy before we're old.
Don't carry every heavy thing,
There's room to laugh, there's room to sing.
While we can, while we're alive,
Let's taste this moment, feel it arrive.

The shopkeeper is sweeping leaves,

Let the hard news roll on by,
Come on, love, let's take our time.

While we can, while we're alive,
Stay here with me and feel it arrive.
