[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
