The Way It Is lyrics

I'm so sorry when I told you Those smokestacks were making clouds for the sky But if I told you the truth It would just bring so many tears So many tears to your eyes I said it that's the way it is And the way it's gonna be If that's the way it is I'd rather make believe Oh remember sitting on that beach Watching all tha lightning fill up the sky Well you got so scared Until I told you it was just fireworks like the fourth of July I said it that's the way it is And the way it's gonna be If that's the way it is I'd rather make believe I Know one day you'll be old enough To know my stories I told are not true But when you have your own children And they ask you questions You'll know, you'll know just what to do You'll say it that's the way it is And the way it's gonna be If that's the way it is I'd rather make believe Oh that's the way it is And the way it's gonna be If that's the way it is I'd rather make believe
