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
