Perfect Love
Old enough
To know when I've been wrong
Yes and fool enough
To think I still might change
I've been out of place
But right on time
And still I've let you down
We've been lovers
And we've fought
It would help me if I thought
You might remember me
Not for what I've done
But for the other things
I'd always meant to do
'Cause like a child
Who's learned the ways of life
You've opened up my eyes
With a love that's always new
Yes I owe it all to you
'Cause when the world outside
Was sure that I was only chasing rainbows
You could find the words to say to make me strong
Holding on to me and whispering
"There's nothing wrong with rainbows"
You heard my song
And so remember me
As one who came to love
And found a perfect love
To help along the way
And if tomorrow you should find
That I'm no longer by your side
Then it was time for me to go
And it would help me just to know
That you'd remember me
As one who came to love
And found a perfect love
To help along the way
To know when I've been wrong
Yes and fool enough
To think I still might change
I've been out of place
But right on time
And still I've let you down
We've been lovers
And we've fought
It would help me if I thought
You might remember me
Not for what I've done
But for the other things
I'd always meant to do
'Cause like a child
Who's learned the ways of life
You've opened up my eyes
With a love that's always new
Yes I owe it all to you
'Cause when the world outside
Was sure that I was only chasing rainbows
You could find the words to say to make me strong
Holding on to me and whispering
"There's nothing wrong with rainbows"
You heard my song
And so remember me
As one who came to love
And found a perfect love
To help along the way
And if tomorrow you should find
That I'm no longer by your side
Then it was time for me to go
And it would help me just to know
That you'd remember me
As one who came to love
And found a perfect love
To help along the way
