I remember how your eyes used to light up
  Over promises that I made
  But for the first time in my life
  I know now how it feels to be afraid
  I don't know what I'd do if you go away
  This would sure be one lonely old town
  For a man's so busy going up in the world
  That he couldn't see love coming down
  Love coming down
    I remember all the times you told me
  Love's all that matters to you
  And looking back now, wondering how I believed
  I had things more important to do
  I can see how I must have looked to you
  Like some fool on a merry-go-round
  And that a man's so busy going up in the world
  That he couldn't see love going down
  Love going down
    Can't you see how everything I've learned
  Would just be wasted if you leave me
  If you just give one more try
  I swear I'll always be here when you need me
  If you can find it in your heart to forgive me
  I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground
  But if a man's so busy going up in the world
  That he couldn't see love coming down
  Love coming down
