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

C B F C   C G F C G F   C G C G

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
