God Only Knows Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 Darkness settles on the ground

2 Leaves the day stumbling blind

3 Coming to a quite close

4 And maybe just in time

5 We've almost the heart to know

6 How to keep our best in mind

7 We've almost the heart to know

8 How to keep our best in mind

9 Time has turned an angry face

10 Throws a dark eye back to sea

11 But what will pass for mercy now

12 We'll practice unforgivingly

13 As if might and will make right

14 Or either one could make us free

15 As if might and will make right

16 Or either one could make us free

17 Lovers laugh and cross this way

18 A-weavin' out into the street

19 It seems we never were so young

20 Or it was never quite so sweet

21 But the world is always beautiful

22 When it's seen in full retreat

23 The worst of life looks beautiful

24 As it slips away in full retreat

25 God only knows what we can do

26 No more or less than he'll allow

27 God only knows that we mean well

28 God knows that we just don't know how

29 But I try to be your light and love

30 Pray that it's enough for now

31 Well, I tried to be your light and love

32 And I'll pray that is enough for now
