    Lyrics

    By and by, the weeds run high
    And a dusty wind blows over the old place
    Bit by bit, the memory of it
    Returns to haunt me in familiar voices along those old pathways
    Side by side, we laughed so hard we cried
    And stayed up all night, getting rowdy, and making a scene everywhere
    But day by day, some drift further away
    And some pass through the curtain, and we can't follow there
    What could ever stop this parade of days
    From takin' everything you love away?
    And what am I so afraid of?
    If it won't break your heart, it ain't love

    Line by line, this cruel world undermines
    All that you fought for, they suck the soul of it and give you back the grief
    Turn by turn, everyone learns
    To guard their speech, and knot up their heart in disbelief
    What could ever stop this parade of days
    From takin' everything you love away?
    And what am I so afraid of?
    If it won't break your heart, it ain't love
    If it won't break your heart
    If it won't break your heart, it ain't love
