You don't know just

when to stop and when to go

City streets in the dead of winter

stop your mind with dirty snow

Walk at night and touch your hand to

the golden lights and let them show

You the shadows disappearing

I'll smile and say I told you so



Baby - tell me why if you think you know why

people love when there's no tomorrow



And still not cry when it's time to go

And still not cry when it's time to go

And still not cry when it's time to go



The wall of your memory will echo your sorrow

The pictures of sadness are not what they seem

So hold out your smile take my hand and be happy

These pictures of sadness are not all they seem

Are you so old that you've no childhood

Is your time line so unreal

That all your sunsets come in the morning?

Baby tell me how do you feel?



Shelves of books in your mirror reflecting

The sidewalks & alleys that you've seen

Show colors change as the images fade in

My magical vanishing memory machine



Baby - Tell me how if you think you know how

People love if there's no tomorrow

Do people love if there's no tomorrow



And still not cry when they have to go

And still not cry when they have to go

And still not cry when they have to go
