The Way It Is

I know you gotta go But that don't make it easier You know I'm gonna leave But that still makes it hard The devil and the deep blue sea Stole you away from me Now the moon has fallen down And you are not around That's just the way it is Like moon and stars and sea That's just the way it is We have to set you free That's just the way it is The way it's gonna be The way it's gonna be So, why you gotta go? So soon and so slow The moon has got to set But that don't mean I like it We were never just kids But we were pretty young We did what we did just to get along That's just the way it was We fell down on the street We did what we did To set each other free That's just the way it was The way it's gotta be The way it's gotta be That's just the way it was We fell down on the street We did what we did To set each other free That's just the way it is We have to set you free That's just the way it is The way it's gotta be The way it's gotta be
