Heaven Only Knows Lyrics[Verse 1]
Way down in the valley
Way back at the start of it all
There's a well dried up
Like the bottom of a cup
Not a raindrop dares to fall
But way up on the hilltop
There's a ragin' river cold
Full of plenty little fish
Throw a penny, make a wish
Drink to satisfy your soul
[Pre-Chorus]
So how is a thirsty man
Supposed to understand?
[Chorus]
Well, Heaven only knows what's waitin' on me
Heaven only knows, gotta wait and see, y'all
Heaven only knows, answer to my prayer
Heaven only knows, I'll know when I get there
[Verse 2]
Out here in the hustle
It's so easy to lose your head
You need a shovel and coal
Or polish and your gold
Just tryin' to keep fair
But when you step to the blackjack table
Good luck can turn on a dime
Yeah, you better believe
There ain't no guarantee
That that water's ever gonna be wine
[Pre-Chorus]
So how is a thirsty man
Supposed to understand?
[Chorus]
Heaven only knows what's waitin' on me
Heaven only knows, gotta wait and see, y'all
Heaven only knows, answer to my prayer
Heaven only knows, I'll know when I get there
[Post-Chorus]
Heaven only knows
[Bridge]
Why does one door swing wide open
And another door stays closed?
[Chorus]
Heaven only knows what's waitin' on me
Heaven only knows, gotta wait and see, y'all
Heaven only knows, answer to my prayer
Heaven only knows, I'll know when I get there
[Outro]
Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
