Mary Chapin Carpenter - Your Life Story Lyrics
Maybe love is all anybodyEver should believe inMaybe life is just somethingThat employs us till we dieMaybe all we knowIs that the sun will come up every morningMaybe time can chooseWhether to be earthbound or to flyEverybody thinks they've got it downI won't worry, the truth's always been foundIn your life storyMaybe you're the one waitingFor the ship to find your harborMaybe you're the one lookingPast the forest to the treesMaybe you still thinkThe older that you getLife just gets harderMaybe you would trade everythingFor just one moment's peaceEverybody strains to hear the soundOf their heart's callingNow you can write yours downIt's your life storyGather up your telegramsYour faded pictures, best laid plansBooks and postcards, 45'sEvery sunset in the skyCarry with you maps and string, flashlightsFriends who make you singAnd stars to help you find your placeMusic, hope and amazing graceMaybe what we leaveIs nothing but a tangled little mysteryMaybe what we takeIs nothing that has ever had a nameMaybe love will fadeLike the parchment pages of our historyMaybe life is made of flickersFrom some brilliant, burnished flameEverbody's waiting for a signI won't worry, I think we'll be just fineIn your life storyIt's your life storyAnd my life storyThis is our life storyIn your life story
