How Could I Know (Love Was To Go)
Raul Seixas
Letra

It brings me sadness
Just remembering getting home
From a tiring day of work
She would hold me very tight
And kiss me tenderly
We sat awhile, and she'd tell me all the news
How she took the kids to school
And she found them at the zoo
Thorowing peanuts to the bears

Oh, this remembrance keeps reflecting on my mind
When the days ran calm and fine
And I had her by my side
Swearing love eternally

But, hey! How could I know
Love was to go after all this time?
Hey! How could I see
She would leave me after all this time?

Little by little our sky was getting darker
Our dreams were running farther
Smiles becoming harder, in the distance of us two
Our loving glaces very rarely they were meeting
We were always, always fleeing
From a love we felt was ending
Still we never said a word

But, hey! How could I know
Love was to go after all this time?
Hey! How could I see
She would leave me after this time?

Then one fine morning with a torn and aching heart
We decided we should part
For it was late to restart
A love that never was
I still can picture: You were standing at the railing
Saw your taxi that was waiting
Held a tear when you were waving your very last good-bye
The kids were with me as your taxi drove away
I had nothing more to say
So I put them all to sleep
