I've Done Everything I Can Do Lyrics - 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 

May the little voice that guides you 

Send a message through for me 

Reminding you you're beautiful 

And will forever be 

I wish that I could be there now 

To tell you it's alright 

It's a darkened, taunting raiser's edge 

You're walking on the night

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 rough and rocky route 

I've done everything I can 

And there's nothing I can do 

So you're learning to let go 

And the process is so slow 

While your baby plums the depths 

You keep climbing up the stairs 

She was daddy's little girl 

You were ruler of the world 

And now she's out there in the fray 

I'll bet she'll be back someday 

You heard me say a million times 

My work is never done 

For those who keep the wolves at bay 

There is no setting sun 

To see you standing here today 

Pretty child, you've come so far 

Which proves that you can find your way 

No matter where you are 

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 

It's the long way home, it's true 

I've done everything I can 

And there's nothing I can do 

I've done everything I can and look at you
