I Know We Could Be So Happy Baby (If We Wanted To Be)

Album Version


There's no easy answer
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live

I'm not with you not of you
Not with you, not 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

O, 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

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
Of one last look at 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
I'm not with you but of you

O, God, I loved you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else it comes to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be

We had a birthplace in common
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, and lives
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.

one of the most haunting moments in 4 track history. So unreal that it is hard to listen to. Genius.

@gedandrews Calm down man...I wasn't dissing you. I was just pointing how crazy it is that although this song's recorded on a a two bit 4 track and its still legendary is just scary. Thats all...

[gedandrews]

@JayPleezer304 f u man I was just wondering if there was anything behind the allusion to the 4 track, like some o0ther famous 4 track meant to be a legendary recording or something... Don't dis me, I obviously like this song, I just wasn't taking it literally. And sure, it is a very haunting moment in 4 track history. Jeez...

@gedandrews what is there to get?

[gedandrews]

@JayPleezer304 ? I don't get it

[JayPleezer304]

@mazrio128 Due to it being on a 4 track, don't u think that its one of the most haunting moments in music history? Just sayin....
