How Could I Know (Love Was To Go) - Raul Seixas

It brings me sadness just remembering getting home

From a tiring day of work, she would hold me very tight

And kiss me tenderly

We sat while, and she'd tell me all the news:

How she took the kids to school and she found them at the zoo

Thorowing peanuts to the bears...

Oh, this remembrance keeps reflecting on my mind:

When the days ran calm and fine

And I had her by my side,

Swearing love eternally

But, hey! How could I know

Love was to go after all this time?

Hey! How could I see

She would leave me after all this time?

Little by little our sky was getting darker,

Our dreams were running farther,

Our smiles becoming harder, in the distance of us two

Our loving glaces very rarely they were meeting,

We were always, always fleeing

From a love we felt was ending, still we never said a word

But, hey! How could I know

Love was to go after all this time?

Hey! How could I see

She would leave me after this time?

Then one fine morning with a torn and acking heart

We decided we should part, for it was late ro restart

A love that never was...

I still can picture: you were standing at the railing,

Saw your taxi that was waiting,

Held a tear when you were waving your very last good-bye

The kids were with me as your taxi drove away,

I had nothing more to say,

So I put them all to sleep...
