I’ve Done Everything I Can Rodney Crowell

I'd love to hear you laughing
Love so see you smile
Dance that little dance you danced
When you were just a child

The way the world came at you
Left you bitter and confused
The more I tried to guide your path
The more you just felt used

The sun comes up to my room
But there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby
It can knock you to your knees

The path that lies between us
Is a star crossed avenue
I've done everything I can
There's nothing I can do

So you loved that girl to death
And you're scared to take a breath
It's like everything you've dread
Swings are hammer in your head

So her heart's locked in a vault
And you think it's all your fault
It's a dream as old as dirt
And you can't stand to see her hurt
