It Goes Away - Tom Russell

The young boy scrapes his knee

Or he falls out of a tree

And his Mama hears his screams from far away

She runs to dry his eye

She say’s its O. K to cry

'Cos everything that hurts will go away

It goes away it might take years

Or a hundred thousand tears

But one day the sky will clear it goes awa… y

Oh the boy’s just turned sixteen

He’s bashful lives in dreams

And his heart breaks when the girls go by his way

He’s chokin' deep inside

From swallowing false pride

'Til he remembers that od prayer it goes away

It goes away it might take years

Or a hundred thousand tears

But one day the sky will clear it goes awa… y

The older that we grow

Oh the less we seem to know

But we still recite the old prayers every day

Yeah we hope the bomb won’t drop

And all the wars will stop

And when our heartbreaks

That the pain will go away

It goes away it might take years

Or a hundred thousand tears

But one day the sky will clear it goes awa… y

It goes away it might take years

Or a hundred thousand tears

But one day the sky will clear it goes awa… y
