Don Henley - Wasted Time lyrics

[Verse] 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 trying to remember How do you start it over? You don't know if you can 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 wondering what I left behind and from worrying about this wasted time Ooh, another love has come and gone Ooh, and the years keep rushing on I remember what you told me Before you went out on your own "Sometimes to keep it together You 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 [Outro] Mm,hm Oh hoo, ooh, oh Ooh,ooh, mm
