Love only stays for a little while, baby
That's what I said 'cause I was scared
Too scared to say what you mean to me, baby
Too afraid to show how much I cared

Feel love, well, I couldn't be here
So you just packed up and said goodbye
I feel love but now it's too late
And all I do is cry

'Cause I know that your memory lingers
I think about you night and day
I know from the tips of my fingers
I had your love but I let it slip away
I had your love but I let it slip away

Could not have your heart any day, pretty baby
You could be here now and it's killin' me
I'm standing all alone in the way, pretty baby
In the way of love that was meant to be

I know 'cause your memory lingers
I think about you night and day
I know from the tips of my fingers
I had your love but I let it slip away
I had your love but I let it slip away

Feel love, well, I couldn't be here
So you packed it up and said goodbye
I feel love but now it's too late
And all I do is cry

'Cause I know that your memory lingers
I think about you night and day
I know from the tips of my fingers
I had your love but I let it slip away

I know that your memory lingers
I think about you night and day
I know from the tips of my fingers
I had your love but I let it slip away
I had your love but I let it slip away

You can't sit around waiting for the path to glory
You gotta get movin' to tell your story
The bigger they come, the harder they fall
From the littlest acorns come trees so tall
And where you're comin' from is where you're goin'
Til' you get there you got no way of knowin'

All the love in the world won't find you if you don't let it
Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
And every mistake is a break but only if you get it
Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride

Everyday is a brand new place
Feel the sun upon your face
Try somethin' new, don't regret it
A hole in your shoe but just forget it

Let it ride, oh, you got to let it
Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
And every mistake is a break but only if you get it
Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride

There's a town down the road
Where I ain't been before
Nobody knows my name
Or what I'm lookin' for

Maybe things will be a little different
'Cause they can't stay the same
I'm gonna ease on down the road
Where nobody knows my name

I've got to keep the dust a movin'
Up around my heels
There might be a change for me
Just over that distant field

Even when the past comes callin'
Lookin' for somebody to blame
I'll be easin' on down the road
Where nobody knows my name

When the burnin' sun surrenders
Will he still remember me?
I never told him I was goin'
Out where the wind is blowin' free

If he thinks about me tonight
I know, he won't miss the pain
'Cause I'll be takin' it down the road
Where nobody knows my name

When the burnin' sun surrenders
Will he still remember me?
I never told him I was goin'
Out where the wind is blowin' free

If he thinks about me tonight
I know he won't miss the pain
I'll be takin' it down the road
Where nobody knows my name

I'm gonna ease on down the road
Where nobody knows my name

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me

And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try baby
And have a little faith in me

And have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darlin'
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me

And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall baby
Just have a little faith in me

And have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

Well I've been loving you for such a long time girl
Expecting nothing in return just for for you to have a little faith in me
'Cause see time, time is our friend
'Cause for us there is no end
And all you gotta do is a have a little faith in me
I said I will hold you up
I will hold you up
And your love gives me strength in love
So have a little faith in love
I said a hey hey all you gotta do for me girl is have a little bit of faith in me

I said a I said a hey...
