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



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

[ guitar - steel ]

At every fading glance...

Baby now I understand...

Yeah love only pauses for a while and is always free to go

[ guitar - steel ]
