I can't ask
You to wait forever
What I feel inside
Won't make no sense to you

I am holdin' on
And things are looking better
If you want to leave
I just can't let you go

I put too many years
Of my life into you
To be throwin' it all away
And there's too many nights
I can't sleep without you
Can't we go on just the same

For a little while
For a little while
For a little while
For a little while

I am working hard
Waiting for tomorrow
And no one knows
What another day will bring

I still love you
In spite of all the sorrow
Why you want to leave
Is a mystery to me

I put too many years
Of my life into you
To be throwin' it all away
And there's too many nights
I can't sleep without you
Can't we go on just the same

For a little while
For a little while
For a little while
For a little while

I put too many years
Of my life into you
To be throwin' it all away
And there's too many nights
I can't sleep without you
Can't we go on just the same
