the future (continued) i've been there!

when i see a young couple walking slowly through the trees

i don't have to follow them to know how far they'll go

i've been there. if the boy is sulking and the girl is close to tears

i know it doesn't matter

who is right or who started the fight

i've been there. i've been there when the music played old songs

young songs

good songs

bad songs

sweet songs

sad songs. i've been there when a pretty smile made it difficult to breathe

but so easy to fly and a pleasure to cry

so to all of you in the throes of early love

where delightful confusion reigns supreme

let me try to help you rearrange your dream

let yourself live

let yourself love

let yourself go. i've been there

and i know.
