I Told You in the Morning (Leavin Behind)
I Told You in the Morning (Leavin Behind)
Rick Hart

I told you in the morning after sweet, sweet lovin' I was leavin'.
I'm tired of all the things that never get done and all the dreams you don't believe in.
I'm tired of the sweet, little lady, waiting for us to live
without ever knowing how time keeps movin' on,
and I don't want to be the one I'm leavin' behind.

I know I may be crazy, but I'm not half lazy, now that you know me.
And even if I could just hold it back, can you see me tryin' it one more time again?
Tell me, who in the world are you foolin', keepin' it to yourself,
holdin' on, until love just slips away,
and now I'm in a different place and movin' away.

Take it easy. Go ahead, you've got it made.
But now you're lookin' queasy. Your shadow ain't givin' you shade?
Oh, we had such a beginning. Time was standing still,
but I'm thinking the world keeps turnin' 'round, baby,
right down that road.

...solo...

Take it easy. Go ahead, you've got it made.
But now you're lookin' queasy. Your shadow ain't givin' you shade?
Tell me, who in the world are you foolin',
keepin' it to yourself, holdin' on,
until love just slips away,
and now I'm in a different place and movin' away.

I told you in the morning after sweet, sweet lovin' I was leavin'.
I'm tired of all the things that never get done and all the dreams you don't believe in.
I'm tired of the sweet, little lady, waiting for us to live
without ever knowing how
time keeps movin', love keeps slippin', the world keeps rollin' on,
and I don't want to be the one I'm leavin' behind.
