What It Is - Susan Vosburgh
Somebody
said that it would last forever
Somebody else said it was
really love
Somebody said that it would
be so wonderful and
Suddenly it wasn't
Suddenly it wasn't
Suddenly it wasn't
And now
There you are
And it is, it is , it is ,
it is , it is
it is, it is , it is , it
is , it is.
I put all my faith in the
future
It's hard to have faith in
the past
This time it's all in the
present
It ain't the first, it ain't
the last
But it is, it is, it is, it
is, it is,
Oh it is, it is, it is, it
is, it is, it is, it is
I like the way you smell
Baby powder and cigarettes
Something else, something
more I guess
Something different, something
different
Definitely something good
Is what it is, it is, it is,
it is, it is
It is, it is, it is.
I put all my faith in the
future
It's hard to have faith in
the past
This time it's all in the
present
It ain't the first, it ain't
the last
But it is, it is, it is, it
is, it is,
Oh it is, it is, it is.
And somebody said that it
would last forever
Somebody else said it was
really really real
Somebody said that something
was so wonderful and
Suddenly it wasn't
Suddenly it wasn't
Suddenly it wasn't
And now
Here you are
And it is, it is, it is, it
is, it is,
Oh it is, it is, it is, it
is, it is
What it is
Is what it is.
