"no one asked me, but that´s my advice. thanks to that soul-clapping audience of yale rep on 12/8/00." mb

my friend steve he wears his heart on his sleeve
all the girls seem to leave him lonely
well, i´m a nice guy with a shoulder to cry on
with one bit of advice only
you gotta inch your way, working every day
showing her all your love
lighten her load but keep it on the road and you´ll grow it
so don´t you blow it

take another baby step, up the mountain of love
it´s a long, long ways and so high up above
hold her hand so tightly and up, up you will climb
that wonderful mountain of love, one baby step at a time

icarus standing on the shore with his dad, saying that he wants to fly
dad says son i can hook up the wings if you promise not to go too high
but he forgot what he said and he lost his head
he headed straight for the sun
that sealed his fate, he was a little too late for returning
now he´s burning

take another baby step, up the mountain of love
it´s a long, long ways and so high up above
hold her hand so tightly and up, up you will climb
that wonderful mountain of love, one baby step at a time

keep a walking. little bitty steps are gonna work it brother
keep a walking right on
putting one foot in front of the other, take it

take another baby step, up the mountain of love
it´s a long, long ways and so high up above
hold her hand so tightly and up, up you will climb
that wonderful mountain of love, one baby step at a time
