I remeber how your eyes used to light up all the 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 do if you go away this will sure be one lonely old town
For a man that'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 mattered to you
And looking back now wondering how I believe 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
Another man so busy going up in the world I couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down

Can't you see how everything I've learned would just be wasted if you leave me
If you'll just give it one more try I swear I'll always be here when you need me
If you can find it in your heart to firgive me I'll try to keep my feet on the ground
Forgive a man so busy going up in the world that he couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down love coming down
