You may live for me today Then tomorrow go away There will be no tears from me That's the way it's got to be That's the way it's got to be You say you'll stay by my side That's something we can't decide We can only wait and see That's the way it's got to be That's the way it's got to be But for now let's live and we might find That our love will be the lasting kind Love may be like summers rain Quickly come and gone again It may last eternally That's the way it's got to be That's the way it's got to be That's the way it's got to be That's the way it's got to be That's the way it's got to be That's the way it's got to be It's got to be that way It's got to be that way
