Baby, now I understand

How time can alter any plan

Then gently lead you to know

Truth hopes lies will never show

That love only pauses for a while

And is always free to go.



Honey, I learned not to seek

Any promise hearts must keep

After mine had come to know

And disappointedly so

That love only pauses for a while

And is always free to go.



At every fading glance

I reach to take it in my hands

As if that touch might be the one last chance.



And though all those distant dreams

Seldom turn out what they seem

In the rush to let them grow

Their loss had taught me to know

That love only pauses for a while

And is always free to go.

Yeah, love only pauses for a while

And is always free to go...
