| Baby, now I understand
|
| How time can alter any plan
|
| Then gently lead you to know
|
| Truth hopes lies will never show
|
| That love only pauses for a while
|
| And is always free to go
|
| Honey, I learned not to seek
|
| Any promise hearts must keep
|
| After mine had come to know
|
| And disappointedly so
|
| That love only pauses for a while
|
| And is always free to go
|
| BRIDGE:
|
| At every fading glance
|
| I reach to take it in my hands
|
| As if that touch might be the one last chance
|
| And though all those distant dreams
|
| Seldom turn out what they seem
|
| In the rush to let them grow
|
| Their loss had taught me to know
|
| That love only pauses for a while
|
| And is always free to go
|
| Baby, now I understand
|
| How time can alter any plan
|
| Then gently lead you to know
|
| Truth hopes lies will never show
|
| That love only pauses for a while
|
| And is always free to go
|
| Yeah, love only pauses for a while
|
| And is always free to go |
