Haven’t Got Time for the Pain

 

Here are excerpts of lyrics from Carly Simon’s Haven’t Got Time for the Pain.  When you discover for yourself the light of love in this world then you too might not have time for the “suffering” that you feel that you need to “feel alive.”  

Seek to discover the joy of living.  

All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep

Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore'

cause I haven't got time for the pain

I haven't got room for the pain

I haven't the need for the pain

Not since I've known you

You showed me how, 

how to leave myself behind

How to turn down the noise in my mind

Now I haven't got time for the pain

I haven't got room for the pain

I haven't the need for the pain.

Suffering was the only thing

that made me feel I was alive

Thought that's just how much it cost

to survive in this world

'til you showed me how,

how to fill my heart with love

How to open up and drink 

in all that white light

Pouring down from the heaven.

Haven't got time for the pain (the pain)

I haven't got room for the pain (the pain)

I haven't the need for the pain

Not since I've known you
