[Chorus]
GBaby now I understand, Ghow time can alter any plan,
Then gently lead you to Cknow, truth hopes lies will never shGow.
Oh that Alove only pauses for a Cwhile, and is always free to Ggo.
[Verse 1]
Honey GI learned not to seek, any Gpromise hearts must keep,
After mine had come to Cknow, and disappointedly Gso.
That Alove only pauses for a Cwhile, and is always free to Ggo.
[Bridge]
At Devery Cfading Dglance, I reach to Dtake it Cin my Dhands,
As if that Ctouch might be, the one last Dchance.
[Verse 2]
And though Gall those distant dreams, seldom Gturn out what they seem,
In the rush to let them Cgrow, their loss has taught me to Gknow,
Ah, that Alove only pauses for a Cwhile, and is always free to Ggo.
[Instrumental]

Then gently lead you to Cknow, truth hopes lies will never Gshow.
That Alove only pauses for a Cwhile, and is always free to Ggo.
