I Believe
George Strait
Struggling with I Believe? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
The night's as clear as a big desert sky But it's hard to see the stars with these tears in my eyes Yeah, it's hard not to cry There's twenty-six reasons why There's broken hearts that'll never be the same Shattered lives still reeling from the pain Of plans and dreams now gone Oh, how do you move on? But I believe There's someone who's looking after me Someone beside me night and day To light the way It's hard to conceive Something you can't see But I believe I believe There's twenty-six angels looking down from above Resting in his mercy, grace and love Time may never heel The sadness that we feel But I believe There's someone who's looking after me Someone beside me night and day To light the way It's hard to conceive Something you can't see But I believe I believe The rivers flow now that used to be dry As people all over the world start to cry But I believe
