Taking You For Granted
Joan Alexander ©1998

I know the sun?s gonna come up in the morning.
I know the stars will be shining bright.
Seems I thought no matter what I did to you baby
It would all come out all right.

Lately my world?s been a little bit darker
And the days are dragging oh, so slow.
In the quiet night I?ve been starting to wonder
If someday this is going to make you go.

?Cause I?ve been taking you for granted.
You?ve been loving me completely.
Taking you for granted.
You give your love so sweetly.
I guess I thought no matter what I did to you baby
It would all come out all right.

For a while it seemed that it was you who did the longing
Always reaching out for my hand to hold.
Now, I guess, I?m the one who?s needing reassuring
That your love has not grown tired and cold.

?Cause I?ve been taking you for granted.
You?ve been loving me completely.
Taking you for granted.
You give your love so sweetly.
I guess I thought that I could do anything and maybe,
It would all come out all right.

Now I see how time won?t stand still before me
And there?s always something to overcome.
Nothing comes from nothing, so you always told me
And our love won?t stay the same.

I?ve been taking you for granted
You?ve been loving me completely
Taking you for granted
You give your love so sweetly
I guess I thought that I could do anything baby
And it would all come out allright.

Well, is there anything that I can do now, baby,
To make it come out right?
