Anita Baker Only For A While lyrics

For a little while
We know what heartache is
And we feel the pain the world can sometimes bring
For a little 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 forever more

So if you're in the valley
(If you're in the valley now)
And life is so unkind
(Life is so unkind)
And if your tears keep falling
(If your tears keep falling)
From your tired eyes
(From your eyes)
Your burden seemed so heavy
(Your burden seems so heavy now)
And its hard to smile
(So hard to smile)
Then you must remember
(You better remember)
It's only for a while

For a little while
(Well)
You lose someone you love
And you miss the time 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 there

But it won't last, it will pass in time

So if you're in the valley
(If you're in the valley now)
And life is so unkind
(And life is so unkind)
(Hey hey)
And if your tears keep falling
(If your tears keep falling)
From your tired eyes
(From your eyes)
Your burden seemed so heavy
(Your burden seems so heavy now)
And its hard to smile
(So hard to smile)
Oh, you gotta remember, yeah
(You better remember)
It's only for a while

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ohh yeah
Ooh ooh
Ohh aah
Oh, you better remember, aah
(You gotta remember)
It's only for a while
Ohh, it's only for a while, oh
Oh, yes remember
Ohh, it's only for a while
Ooh yeah
