Short Stories Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Have you ever been up 

Have you ever been down 

Have you ever been lost 

Have you ever been found 

Have you ever been right 

Have you ever been wrong 

Have you come up short 

Can you come along 

Have you left a mark 

Have you left alone 

Have you seen the way 

Can you come back home

CHORUS 

>Short stories 

>That's what we live 

>Short stories 

>Babe just take what they will give 

>Short stories 

>That's all it's ever been 

>Don't you worry 'bout the ending 

>Babe, before we begin 

I have seen the sun 

That's behind the rain 

I have felt the joy 

That's behind the pain 

Did you ever go soft 

Did you ever run wild 

I've been a hundred years old 

I been a newborn child 

I have found a smile in the midst of tears 

And I can find a heart in the midst of fear

CHORUS 

Don't you know I need you near me 

Or my happy ending's gone 

And I see now so very clearly 

That our story must go on 

and on! 

If I give myself 

Can I ask for you 

If I give you hope 

Can we make it through 

You know I need a dream 

Like I need my breath 

We need to take the life 

Before we get the death 

You know I need your love 

Just like I need the light 

Yes I need the chance 

Can it be tonight? 

CHORUS
