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, 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
At every fading glance I reach to take it in my hands
As if that touch might be the one last chance
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
Yeah love only pauses for a while and is always free to go
