Let the Pain Remain Lyrics

Intro: G-D-C-Cm-G-D7sus-pause
Love comes, love goes
ch /ch
But a sudden feeling never lets me be
s
Somehow I know
Quite a part of me isn't changed
Since you've been gone
Like a sturdy tree
That's seen a thousand seasons
I've shed my leaves in winter
M7 M7
To grow them back in spring
To welcome life again
To welcome you
So goes my life
Still believe in dreams
ch /ch
Of having you around
Too bad mem'ries
Feed the mind and not the heart
Where I want you to be
So I ask myself what you have
ch /ch
Left behind for me
To go on each day to live
M7 M7
As if I have you once again
What else is there that's real
But all the pain that I feel
So let the pain remain
Forever in my heart
M7
For ev'ry throb it brings
ch /ch
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain, bring on the rain
If that's the only way
If there's no other way
F (pause)
To be with you again
Adlib: G-D-C-Cm-G
Too bad mem'ries
Feed the mind and not the heart
Where I want you to be
So I ask myself what you have
ch /ch
Left behind for me
To go on each day to live
M7 M7
As if I have you once again
What else is there that's real
But all the pain that I feel
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last word)
... again
So let the pain remain
M7-
Forever in my heart
M7
For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
ch /ch
I let the pain, bring on the rain
If that's the only way
ch /ch
(If that's the only way)
If there's no other way
Eb7 hold
To be with you again
(Repeat Chorus 2 except last word)
Ebsus (pause)
... again
