You don't know just when to stop and when to go City streets in the dead of winter stop your mind with dirty snow Walk at night and touch your hand to the golden lights and let them show You the shadows disappearing I'll smile and say I told you so Baby - tell me why if you think you know why people love when there's no tomorrow And still not cry when it's time to go And still not cry when it's time to go And still not cry when it's time to go The wall of your memory will echo your sorrow The pictures of sadness are not what they seem So hold out your smile take my hand and be happy These pictures of sadness are not all they seem Are you so old that you've no childhood Is your time line so unreal That all your sunsets come in the morning? Baby tell me how do you feel? Shelves of books in your mirror reflecting The sidewalks & alleys that you've seen Show colors change as the images fade in My magical vanishing memory machine Baby - Tell me how if you think you know how People love if there's no tomorrow Do people love if there's no tomorrow And still not cry when they have to go And still not cry when they have to go And still not cry when they have to go
