Only God Knows - by John Baker

Lyrics by John Baker ************************************************ In the beginning there was so much time. I was focused on things I didn't need. Looking for the answers to the questions came way too late, I will concede. That's all that remains, I say. You can't take it with you, they say. You don't know how true that is, I say. As I never thought I would have to say... That I can't trust what it is I see. Do I remember it right? Does it show? Do I remember despite the fact, it seems... Only God knows. Only God knows. As my memories fade away from me, Do I remember it all? Does it show? Do I remember at all? It seems... Only God knows. Only God knows. I watch the rain soak into the ground, and I wonder where it goes. Am I to also disappear from here? It seems that only God knows. So, I watch the rain just disappear and wonder where I'll go. It seems... Only God knows. Only God knows. So, as I clean up the loose ends of my life, tie them all together so neat. Leaning on family and friends for memories, so bitter and so sweet. That's all that remains, I say. Don't let them go, they say. That's all that I have, I say. As it all just slips away... I can't trust what it is I see. Do I remember it right? Does it show? Do I remember despite the fact, it seems... Only God knows. Only God knows. As my memories fade away from me, Do I remember it all? Does it show? Do I remember at all? It seems... Only God knows. Only God knows. What will happen when I die? Will I remember the life that passed my eyes? Do I start again? Is the slate wiped clean? Looking for the answers to what all this means. What will I be with no memories? What will become of me? What will become of me? It seems... Only God knows. Only God knows. So, where will I go from here? As my light fades away from here? Only God knows. Only God knows. Only God knows. Only God knows. So, where will I go from here? As my light fades away from here? Only God knows. Only God knows. Only God knows. Only God knows. Only God knows. Only God knows. Only God knows. Only God knows.
