This Too Shall Pass

Let me love you like a mountain

Stands so steady and so strong

And I will be unmoving

’cause you know, a lifetime ain’t so long

But I don’t pretend

To know where were going only where we’ve been

And oh this life goes so fast

And like a dream it too shall pass

So I went to ask the river

Oh to teach me her dance

And so I keep on moving

Towards that open expanse

But I don’t pretend

To know where we’re going only where we’ve been

And oh this life goes so fast

And like a dream it too shall pass

Pass

This too shall pass

This too shall pass

This too shall pass

So won’t you love me like a mountain

Stands so steady and so strong

And I will be unmoving

Because you know a lifetime ain’t so long

But I don’t pretend

To know where I’m going only where I’ve been

And oh this life goes so fast

And like a dream it too shall pass

Pass

This too shall pass

This too shall pass

This too shall pass
