Clifford T Ward - Both Of Us lyrics

Love has gone as surely as it came

Leavin' me mistaken

Leavin' you no shame

But that's not all

A child will be forsaken

Thinkin' she was safe

And who will be to blame?

We gotta put away the heartache

You gotta quell your desire

We gotta sacrifice, we must not break

You gotta put out the fire.

Thrown in my dreams, my hopes an' expectations

Believe me, I don't wanna make a fuss

But I can't allow you these new found aspirations

This little girl needs both of us.

You' gotta put away the yearnin'

We gotta hide all the pain

You gotta sacrifice the burnin'

Well let me help you smile again.

Remember sunny days when we would laugh

An' we would play

Throwin' stones in the sea, makin' castles in the sand

An' all those rainy days when we would walk

And stay out late

An' she'd go splashing in the puddles

Got her stockings saturated

Comin' home tired in the dark

Pickin' up sticks

An' kicking at the leaves

Laughin' at those crazy women

She was smilin' at the men.

But love has gone as surely as it came

Leavin' me mistaken

Leavin' you no shame

If that's not enough

A child will be forsaken

Thinkin' she was safe

Now sharin' all the pain.

We gotta put away the heartache

You gotta quell your desire

We gotta sacrifice, we must not break

You gotta put out the fire.

You' gotta put away the yearnin'

We gotta hide all the pain

You gotta sacrifice the burnin'

Well let me help you smile again.
