NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND
(Jim Shaw)
Susan Raye - 1970
We follow no pattern, no yesterday ties
We never know where we'll wake up this morn
I won't pin you down as to where you are now
With a new day dawning, a new loss may be born
Now that I understand, I can like it
Now that I've lived it, maybe I can love it
We started out straight, but got lost in the game
The progression of love from hand hold to ring
You threw out the rules, started out on your own
I may follow to see what the day will bring
Now that I understand, I can like it
Now that I've lived it, maybe I can love it
Love it and share it and live it and give it
And get it and dig it and maybe find it with you
