I Know We Could Be So Happy Baby (If We Wanted to Be)
by suzanne Vega
There's no easy answer
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live I'm
not with you, of you
Not with you but of you
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
And I hope I'll catch you
In the throws of one last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live I'm
not with you, of you
Not with you but of you
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
And I hope I'll catch you
In the throws of one last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder
Oh God I love you
And all 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
And all 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
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
I'm hoping that I'll catch you
in the throws off one last
look at the joy that we've become
But there's no easy answer
none to blame or forgive
We were two cripples dancing
To the bitter end we live
I'm not with you but of you (x2)
I am the ghost who comes and goes
I'm hoping that I'll catch you
in the throws off one last
look at the joy that we've become
But there's no easy answer
none to blame or forgive
We were two cripples dancing
To the bitter end we live
I'm not with you but of you (x2)
Oh God ...
We had a birthplace in common
We had separate beds and lives
We had separate beds and lives
I'll just sit here and glow
Break out the oldest pictures
Hand your ruined letters out to dry
We had a birthplace in common
And separate beds and lives
And lives (x2)
I know that we could be so happy baby
If we wanted to be
I know that we could be so happy baby
Yeah oh
Break out the oldest pictures
Hand your ruined letters out to dry
We had a birthplace in common
And separate beds and lives
And lives (x2)
I know that we could be so happy baby
If we wanted to be
I know that we could be so happy baby
Yeah oh
