1) Life can be tough, but we’re getting there,
Sometimes it’s rough, but we’re getting there.
I make mistakes nearly all the time,
I have to admit it’s this heart of mine.
2) Close as you are, you’re not here today,
You might as well be a million miles away.
We’ve got to try for a second time.
What’s it all for, after all?
M1) Where to begin? Could be any time.
Well, that’s how it seems to me.
Please take me back, and it’ll all be fine,
And you’ll again be mine, the way it should be.
3) I’ve tried so hard to make sense of it,
Guess I’m to blame, that’s the truth of it.
Let’s give it a try for a second time.
What’s it all for, after all?
(Instrumental section)
4) Though you are near, you’re not here today,
You might as well be a million miles away.
So why don’t we go for a second time.
What’s it all for, after all?
M2) When to begin? It could be any time.
That’s how it seems to me.
Just take me back, and it’ll all be fine,
And you’ll again be mine, the way it should be.
5) Life can be tough, but we’re getting there,
Sometimes it’s rough, but we’re getting there.
Let’s give it a try, till the end of time.
What’s it all for, after all?
