I Know We Could Be So Happy Baby (If We Wanted To Be) Lyrics
Jeff Buckley
There's no easy answer
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live
One last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder
Oh god i love you
And all of the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to
I know we could be so happy baby
If we wanted to be
I'll sit here and wait
Break out the oldest picture
Hang your ruined letters out to dry
We had a birthplace in common
And seperate beds and lives
I'm not with you but of you
I'm not with you but of you
Oh god i loved you
And all of the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to
I know we could be so happy baby
If we wanted to be
