Lyrics
You don't know, but that's okay
You might find me anyway
Don't you know that I belong arm in arm with you, baby?
In a town that's cold and gray
We will have a sunny day
Don't you know that I belong arm in arm with you, baby?
Baby
I do not know where does it go when it goes
Suddenly, though, everything's slow and I miss you so
'Round each corner there's a chance
People searchin' glance to glance
Movin' 'bout real fast like insects and fish when they're scared
And they sing the same old song
Though it's been so very long
They sing, "Raindrops fallin' on my head", but that doesn't mean that I am dead
And I do not know where does it go when it goes
Suddenly, though, everything's slow and I miss you so
You don't know, but that's okay
You might find me anyway
Don't you know that I belong arm in arm with you, baby?
In a town that's cold and gray
We will have a sunny day
Don't you know that I belong arm in arm with you, baby?
Baby
Baby
Baby
