lyrics

I wonder if you knew all I was going through that day.

The way I held you in my arms and wouldn’t let go.

Could you feel the heaviness of my lingering loneliness.

As I tucked you in and I sang to you so low.

Oh my child, I don’t want you to know, the way the world goes, the way the world goes.

Oh my child, I don’t want you to know, the way the world goes, the way the world goes.

I wonder what you thought when you handed me that money.

Just a wad of cash that your parents had stashed just for me.

I wonder if you’ll look back and think that all of that was funny.

Or was it just life for you then and just life for me.

Oh my child, I don’t want you to know, the way the world goes, the way the world goes.

Oh my child, I don’t want you to know, the way the world goes, the way the world goes.

Every day that passes you’re on my mind.

I think of us, think of them, think of how, think of when, think of now.

I don’t know how life will unfold for you or me.

Maybe here, maybe there, maybe us somewhere just somehow.

Oh my child, I don’t want you to know, the way the world goes, the way the world goes.

Oh my child, I don’t want you to know, the way the world goes, the way the world goes.

Marye Lobb Rochester, New York

If an alpine lake high in the Chilean Andes had a voice, it would be Marye Lobb's, crystalline and cool, intimate yet accessible, with a folk-infused style reminiscent of Judy Collins seasoned with the flavors of Brazil.
