Woman, don´t you ever wonder
Where you´d be if I just walked on by
What´s your name?
Can I take your number?
Darling come with me

I´m going to change your life

When you´re young you think you´re winning
Why worry ´til the babies cry?
I was wrong; it´s the blues we´re singing
Chasing after pennies just to survive.

And there´s no way the gods are hearing me baby
They don´t even try
They don´t even try
And all the things I said I´d give you
Just seem to pass me by
No matter how I try

I hope you understand
This is not what I had planned for us
God only knows if my dreams are coming or gone
(Are coming or gone)

But you´re still holding my hand
Sweetheart (sweetheart)
And for every single day you´re here
It´s crystal clear
That God isn´t mad at me at all
He ain´t mad at me at all

And all this praying hard ain´t gonna save the day
Maybe that´s really what I´m guilty of
I know we live in times when love is not enough
It´s not enough
(no no no no no)

And there´s no way the gods are hearing me
Baby, they don´t even try
They don´t even try

And all the things I said I´d give you
Just seem to pass me by
(No matter how I try)

I hope you understand
This is not what I had planned for us
Heaven only knows if our dreams are coming or gone
(Coming or gone, coming or gone)
But you´re still holding my hand
Sweetheart (Sweetheart)

So for every single day that you´re here
It´s crystal clear
That God isn´t mad at me at all
He ain´t mad at me at all

There´s a place in my mind

Somewhere we could be fine
Where the children would play
And we´d eat like kings every day

(Some more promises)

(like kings on Christmas Day)
