Different Ways

by Chi Coltrane

on Let It Ride (1974)

Knowing what we're going through
There's nothing left for me to do
But make my way without you in my world

I hate to see it end this way
But there's nothing left for me to say
I'm glad we've been together for a while

Loving you the way I do, you know I'll always care for you
Baby, don't ever close that door on me
'Cause people change from day to day
Our paths just went in different ways

But that don't mean our love should cease to be
You brought me from the dark out to the sunshine
You took away my fears and set me free
My life you made worthwhile, you taught me how to smile

Now, how could I forget the love we knew?
When I was lost, your love I found
You really turned my head around
I don't know who I'd be if not for you
Although it's sad it had to end

You know I'll always be your friend
And just as it began it now should be
We've been friends for a long, long time
And that will outlive the changes in our minds

Loving you the way I do, you know I'II always care for you
Baby, don't ever close that door on me
'Cause people change from day to day
Our paths just went in different ways

But that don't mean our love should cease to be
No, a love like ours could never cease to be
