Baby Don’t You Know
It’s just the way it goes
The flavor of the month
A certain suicide
You cannot hide from
The reversal of the mirror
Tears may flow
Like heaven knows
But how could they count them all
As they drip upon the floor
And love like an open door
Shows a light shining
Many has been the years
When nobody does love
And in the midst of it glows
Like none could know
A certain loneliness
In the shadow of your smile

And don’t you fear that love
Could break your heart
On through the ages
As you sleep
I see a great hero
Who always won for right
Who really saved your life
As you were struggling on
That you might live
Goodbye to those who thought
They were the precious few
They retired far too early
And just sat around and did nothing
While the world turned topsy-turvey
Long gone memories
Often haunt me like I really knew
For a moment or two
What was I to do
Until it all fades away
Love cheapens so quickly
With non-believers
Beware the evil one
Could drop a bomb on you
And don’t you fear
That love could break your heart
