Little By Little

(album: State Of The Heart - 2021)

I wonder if the road's worth taking
I wonder can a heart stop breaking
I wonder will my hands stop shaking
I wonder will I get there soon and
If there is a destination
I pray to God I'll find the patience
And in the end hope I'm not saying
"What have I done?"

Guess it was a trick of New Mexico light
Caught a glimpse of you in the corner of my eye
But there wasn't nothing on the passenger side
That wasn't behind me

And little by little babe
You'll forget me
Little by little babe
And I'll regret this
Little by little babe
Like I'm losing you
And I can see the proof
In the rearview
Little by little babe
Goes little by little babe

Stay between the lines on the pavement
Watch the colors in the sky as they're fading
It's like the mile marker signs have been waiting
For me to pass by

It hit me in the night like a hammer to the heart
I packed what I could find in the back of my car
Watched the sun wipe out all the Arizona stars
And kept on driving

And little by little babe
You'll forget me
Little by little babe
And I'll regret this
Little by little babe
Like I'm losing you
And I can see the proof
In the rearview
Little by little babe
It goes little by little babe

It goes little by little babe
Little by little babe
Little by, little babe

Little by little babe
Yeah you'll forget me
Little by little babe
I'll regret this
Little by little babe
Like I'm losing you
And I can see the proof
In the rearview
Little by little babe
Goes little by little babe

Maybe I'll call you on a Sunday
A couple summers later maybe one day
Out of luck out of love out of highway
And I'll say "what have I done?"
And you'll say
"It was little by little babe
Well I forgot you
Little by little baby"
