A Child Could Tell - Nils Lofgren

Livin' in the same dead town

Mysteriously I’ve come alive

It feels great, I’m glowin' so different

Yesterday it was all I could do to survive

Somethin' gave my soul a start

Swift the black off my rusty heart

Maybe it’s the hand of fate

Could be the angel, needin' that eat

A child could tell that I’m in love

A child could tell that I’m in love (With you)

Baby it’s the kind of day

When you wake up with a reason to wash your face

Love is hatin' and hurtin', same

My dark dead feelings are bein' replaced

Wearin' clean clothes and bringin' her flowers

We sit and we talk for hours

And the little girl nest door

Asked me today, «How come I never smiled before?»

She said she likes it

A child could tell that I’m in love

A child could tell that I’m in love (With you)

A child could tell, that I’ve been saved

Saved by love, I’d lost faith

It changed so much, love so true

A child could tell!

I don’t have to figure it out

Why she loves me 'cause there ain’t no doubt

The kids in the neighborhood

All along they understood!

A child could tell that I’m in love

A child could tell that I’m in love (With you)
