LOVE COMING DOWN 

WRITER JERRY CHESNUT



I remember how your eyes used to light up

Over promises that I made

But for the first time in my life

I know now how it feels to be afraid

I don't know what I'd do if you go away

This would sure be one lonely old town

For a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Love coming down

I remember all the times you told me

Love's all that matters to you

And looking back now, wondering how I believed

I had things more important to do

I can see how I must have looked to you

Like some fool on a merry-go-round

And that a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love going down

Love going down

Can't you see how everything I've learned

Would just be wasted if you leave me

If you just give one more try

I swear I'll always be here when you need me

If you can find it in your heart to forgive me

I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground

But if a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Love coming down
