Taking It All in Stride Rainy days rainy nights Seems like it’s been raining for a while Wind is blowing ground is frozen I haven’t seen a single soul smile Empty house cat calls Lord this is a lonely time of year Well I’ve lost you but I’m not through And you won’t see me shed a single tear Chorus: I’ll be taking it all in stride Ain’t going to run ain’t going to hide I’ve got too much to give inside to give up my loving I will go up and I will go down But somehow I’ll always be around There’s too much out there to be found to give up my loving Not long ago you let me know I was all that mattered in your life You drank a toast you said you loved me the most I wondered could this really be right Time’s changing and love is strange And nothing ever really lasts for long Well I lost you but I’m not through I know it’s always dark before the dawn Chorus twice by: José Duarte
