The Answer歌词

The Answer - Don Williams

O're the life of me

Ya know I can't recall

My father giving mighty words of wisdom

But the more I live I see

The greatest gift of all

Is how I always knew for sure

He was Listening

To a million questions
I felt like a fool to ask

When I'd ask him for an answer

He'd just laugh

And say the more I learn the more
I learn how little that I know

But I'm close to understanding

Just how far I have to go

We give our hearts

We take our chances

And know the fool ain't the one

With all the questions

To tell the truth it's someone who

Believes they have the answer

In the years since then

When my children come

Pouring out their hearts

This old world has broken

I do the listening

I see what good it does

When less not more is spoken

And when they press me hard to tell them

What the answer is

I remember well and simply

Offer this

And say the more I learn the more
I learn how little that I know

But I'm close to understanding

Just how far I have to go

We give our hearts

We take our chances

And know the fool ain't the one

With all the questions

To tell the truth it's someone who

Believes they have the answer

And say the more I learn the more
I learn how little that I know

But I'm close to understanding

Just how far I have to go

We give our hearts

We take our chances

And know the fool ain't the one

With all the questions

To tell the truth it's someone who

Believes they have the answer
