I was standing there
Holding your hand
In the dark of the night
We was way past a prayer

I felt you slipping away
You were barely holding on

Sometimes, sometimes
All you got is
Sometimes, sometimes
All you got, ah
Sometimes, sometimes
All you've got is a song

You put everything
On your wedding ring
And the health and happiness
Of your family

I watched you silently
While I sat there watching silently
Praying your rosary yeah
Oh-oh

I felt you slip away
And I knew you wouldn't stay long

Sometimes, sometimes
All you got is
Sometimes, sometimes
All you got, ah
Sometimes, sometimes
All you've got is a song

I'm gonna sing away the pain
Like I always do, like I always do
I'm gonna sing away the pain
Until that morning light will break on through
I'm gonna sing away the pain
Somewhere over the rainbow
I'm gonna sing away the pain
And pray that all your pain goes

When I felt you, felt you slipping away
You held my hand, keeping me strong

Sometimes, sometimes
All you got is
Sometimes, sometimes
All you got, yeah
Sometimes, sometimes
All you've got is a song
