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
