The mystery of life and love
Have been with us forever
What makes a young girl fall in love with me?
What makes clouds disappear without a raindrop fallin?
How can the artist paint the wind?
How can mothers leave their kids and walk away without them?
And how do heartaches ever heal again?

Chorus:
What lies ahead for us in life
Will I have kids and a loving wife?
Will I get the chance to grow old?
Only God In Heaven Knows

The mystery of life and love
Will live with us forever
Why do kids and babies have to die?
Why are straight A's easy to earn,
While some kids always struggle to learn?
And why do grown men fight the urge to cry?

Chorus:
What lies ahead for us in life
Will I have kids and a loving wife?
Will I get the chance to grow old?
Only God In Heaven Knows

Chorus:
What lies ahead for us in life
Will I have kids and a loving wife?
Will I get the chance to grow old?
Only God In Heaven Knows
Only God In Heaven Knows

Bridge:
Why do heroes lives end with amazing grace,
And the red, white, and blue draped on top of their graves?

Only God In Heaven Knows
Only God In Heaven Knows
Only God In Heaven Knows
