Light from a window
Cold dark and black
Sound from a dream
I was hypnotized
I was paralyzed
I could hardly speak

Baby
Baby
You never realized
I could have stood there lost in your eyes
Stood there waiting
And not realized
Love isn't easy
It isn't always kind
But I could have stood there lost in your eyes

I guess I understand it
I guess I kind of have to
I guess I kind of see
Just because it could have been
It doesn't mean it had to
Ever mean a thing

Baby
Baby
I could say that all the time
I could have stood there lost in your eyes
Stood there waiting
And not realized
Love isn't easy
It isn't always kind
I could have stood there lost in your eyes

And you know sometimes I wonder
You know sometimes I wonder
I really really do
Really really do
Just because it helps me
You know sometimes it scares me
I guess you wouldn't know
I guess you wouldn't know

I guess I understand it
I guess I kind of have to
I guess I sort of see
Just because it could have been
Doesn't mean it had to
Ever mean a thing

But baby
Baby
I think about it time and time
And I could have stood there lost in your eyes
Stood there waiting
And never realized
Love isn't easy
Isn't always kind
But I could have stood there lost in your eyes
I could have stood there
