Linda Eder - How Little We Know Lyrics

Just when I'm sure that I've got it all down
Somethin' 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 goin' nowhere fast
Everything's forever but nothin' 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 till 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

Just when I'm sure that I've got it all down
Somethin' jumps up and spins me around
