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
