How Little We Know Lyrics - Linda Eder

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
