To Baby Lyrics

You gave me all the love that's necessary
when two people try to find themselves,
love beyond all common sense
based on some sweet permanence
with only one
and baby I thought I needed you
in a changing world
baby I thought I needed you

Wanting some to give away,
important things I had to say
for many days,
suddenly you came along
helped me share my perfect song
in perfect ways,
and baby I thought I needed you
in a changing world,
I thought I needed you

The closer that we drew together
made our love seem like forever, naturally,
and then I heard you sing the song
that I was singing all along
and failed to see,
baby,
the thing that I most fear
in a changing world:
I saw you disappear

Empty now and silently I face your struggle to be free
to be on your own,
to grow so very carefully
and suffer necessarily
for what I've done
to baby who wants to know the thing
in a changing world
to baby who's learning how to sing

in a changing world
to baby who's learning how to sing
