Dwight Yoakam

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
BRIDGE:
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
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
