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
