How Little We Know (Album Version)

How Little We Know - Linda Eder

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
