[00:00.00]Both of Us - Clifford T. Ward
[00:17.92]Love has gone as surely as it came
[00:23.14]Leavin' me mistaken
[00:26.33]Leavin' you no shame
[00:29.77]But that's not all
[00:31.87]A child will be forsaken
[00:35.46]Thinkin' she was safe
[00:38.46]And who will be to blame?
[00:43.70]We gotta put away the heartache
[00:49.98]You gotta quell your desire
[00:56.05]We gotta sacrifice, we must not break
[01:02.21]You gotta put out the fire.
[01:07.98]Thrown in my dreams, my hopes an' expectations
[01:14.21]Believe me, I don't wanna make a fuss
[01:20.31]But I can't allow you these new found aspirations
[01:26.15]This little girl needs both of us.
[01:34.17]You' gotta put away the yearnin'
[01:40.62]We gotta hide all the pain
[01:46.61]You gotta sacrifice the burnin'
[01:52.58]Well let me help you smile again.
[01:58.54]Remember sunny days when we would laugh
[02:02.37]An' we would play
[02:05.13]Throwin' stones in the sea, makin' castles in the sand
[02:10.72]An' all those rainy days when we would walk
[02:14.52]And stay out late
[02:16.74]An' she'd go splashing in the puddles
[02:18.56]Got her stockings saturated
[02:23.16]Comin' home tired in the dark
[02:25.30]Pickin' up sticks
[02:26.44]An' kicking at the leaves
[02:29.26]Laughin' at those crazy women
[02:30.92]She was smilin' at the men.
[02:37.17]But love has gone as surely as it came
[02:42.64]Leavin' me mistaken
[02:45.69]Leavin' you no shame
[02:48.93]If that's not enough
[02:51.42]A child will be forsaken
[02:54.94]Thinkin' she was safe
[02:57.86]Now sharin' all the pain.
[03:03.29]We gotta put away the heartache
[03:09.36]You gotta quell your desire
[03:15.54]We gotta sacrifice, we must not break
[03:21.67]You gotta put out the fire.
[03:27.76]You' gotta put away the yearnin'
[03:33.91]We gotta hide all the pain
[03:40.02]You gotta sacrifice the burnin'
[03:46.21]Well let me help you smile again.
