(Dawn Thomas)
For a little while
We know what heartache is

And we feel the pain the world can sometimes bring
For a while
We cry in the night

Without a single song to sing
But one day all will change
There'll be no more stormy rain

Then at last we will rest forevermore

So if you're in the valley

And life is so unkind
And, if the tears keep falling
From your tired eyes

If burdens seem so heavy
And it's hard to smile
Then just remember

It's only for a while

For a little while

You lose someone you love
And miss the times together that you shared
For a little while

You feel all alone and scared
With no one there to hold
Oh, the nights get long and cold

But it won't last
It will pass in time


So if you're in the valley
And life is so unkind
And if the tears keep falling

From your tired eyes
If burdens seem so heavy
If it's hard to smile

Then just remember
It's only for a while
