It Don't Bring You
Performed by Maura O'Connell
Well I know it ain't been roses
Lately it's just been thorns
And no matter what we do
Nothing seems to change.
Love has always been my shelter
To you It's been a storm
But for a while I thought
We'd always beat the rain
Now there's a hole here in my pocket
Where all my dreams have gone
Fallen out like so many nickels and dimes
And last of all you have always been my good luck charm
I should have known that luck is just a waste of time
Cause it don't bring you love, if you don't love
And it don't bring you time, if you ain't got time
And it don't bring you strength, baby if you ain't strong
And it don't bring you kindness, if you're unkind.
Now there's a whole lot in life to be unsure of
But there's one thing I can safely say I know
That of all the things that finally desert us
Pride is always the last thing to go
Now I wish you only roses without the thorns
And I hope your dreams are always within reach
And I wish you shelter baby from all your storms
They scare you but they never seem to teach
But I can't bring you love, if you don't love
And I can't bring you time, if you ain't got time
And I can't bring you strength, baby if you ain't strong
And I can't bring you kindness, if you ain't kind.
