How Little We Know

Just when I'm sure that I've got it all down Something jumps up and spins me around Sometimes it's the light from my little boy's eyes Takin' me by surprise I've been to the city and I've been to the zoo Learned all about monkey-see, monkey-do Somewhere between the false and the true We all compromise But you and I broke every rule that they ever made Don't ask why, love is a chance that you take And like leaves in the wind at the mercy Of whither we blow, how little we know I have seen the northern lights on a winter's day Up in Minnesota people like it that way So much in nature, I don't understand It's a mystery, not a plan Lookin' for answers is going nowhere fast Everything's forever but nothing seems to last Come tomorrow, today will be the past Like waves upon the sand You and I broke every rule that they ever made Don't ask why, love is a chance that you take And like leaves in the wind at the mercy Of whither we blow, how little we know And in the end what matters most Is how the heart will rise And see us through the dramas 'Til we realize how little we know You and I broke every rule that they ever made Don't ask why, love is a chance that you take And like leaves in the wind at the mercy Of whither we blow, how little we know
