Well baby, there you standWith your little head down in your handOh my God, you can’t believe it’s happening againYour baby’s gone and you’re all aloneAnd it looks like the end
Back out on the streetAnd you’re trying to remember, ohHow do you start it overYou don’t know if you canYou don’t care much for a stranger’s touchBut you can’t hold your man
You never thought you’d be aloneThis far down the lineBut I know what’s been on your mindYou’re afraid it’s all been wasted time
The autumn leaves have got you thinkingAbout the first time that you fell, fellYou didn’t love the boy too muchNo, no you just loved the boy too well, yeah
So you live from day to dayAnd you dream about tomorrowAnd the hours go by like minutesAnd the shadows come to staySo you take a little something to make them go away
And I could have done so many things, babyIf I could only stop my mindFrom wondering what I left behindAnd from worrying about this wasted time
The love has come and goneThe years keep rushing onI remember what you told meBefore you went out on your ownSometimes to keep it togetherYou got to leave it alone
So you can get on with your search, babyAnd I can get on with mineMaybe someday we will findThat it wasn’t really wasted time
