Well baby there you stand
With your little head
down in your hand
Oh my God
you can't believe
it's happening again
Your baby's gone
and you're all alone
and it looks like the end
And you're back out
on the street
And you're tryin' to remember
How will you start it over
You don't know
what became
You don't care much for
a stranger's touch
But you can't hold your man
You never thought you'd be alone
this far down the line
And I know what's been
on your mind
You're afraid it's all been
wasted time
The autumn leaves
have got you thinking
about the first time
that you fell
You didn't love
the boy too much
no no you just
loved the boy too well
Farewell
So you live from day to day
and you dream
about tomorrow oh
And the hours go by like minutes
and the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
to make them go away
And I could have done
so many things baby
If I could only stop my mind
from wondrin' what
I left behind and
from worrying 'bout this
wasted time
Oh another love
has come and gone
Oh and the years
keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together
we got to leave it alone
So you can get on
with your search baby
and I can get on with mine
And maybe someday
we will find
that it wasn't really
wasted time
Mm hm
Oh hoo ooh oh
Ooh ooh mm
