That's The Way It Is
(M. Martin/K. Lundin/A. Carlsson)

I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah

So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.

    General Comment:suddenly i fall in love with this song again...and start to listen to it over and over again (it's just typically me...play one song for days or weeks :P) well...a very simple meaning...and a bit cheesy anyway... But the beat makes it easy to listen...

    General Comment:Wow. You guys who think Celine Dion is "crap" or "her voice sucks" are in BIG TIME denial. So you don't like her style? That doesn't mean her voice sucks! I generally hate country music but I acknowledge that Carrie Underwood has a nice voice. What the heck are you doing looking at this song, anyway? I don't look up songs I hate and diss them. Jeez, some people...

    General Comment:Don't give up on true love. It'll always conquer. Sometimes it isn't easy. When you meet the person you're supposed to be with, you'll know. Love may test you. Love may fail you. Love may break you. But don't give up. Walk by faith, not by sight.
