Lyrics
Dr. Braem was my college French professor
Sometimes we'd talk after class let out
Said his wife was also a teacher
But she stayed in Richmond a couple hundred miles south
Every weekend he'd drive up and back
Just to see her for a couple of days
That's the way I care about you baby
Love without a reason, love without fear
There's nothing to question, nothing to say
Nothing that could take your place
That's the way
It was the last class before the final
He gave us a take-home and I knew something was wrong
He said, 'My sweetheart's been losing a battle
So I'm leaving now and don't know how long I'll be gone.'
See, they'd been trying to find a cure in Virginia
And I wish you could've seen his face
That's the way I care about you baby
Love without a reason, love without fear
There's nothing to question, nothing to say
Nothing that could take your place
That's the way
Saw Dr. Braem at graduation
But I knew where he heart had stayed
That's the way I care about you baby
Love without a reason, love without fear
There's nothing to question, nothing to say
Nothing that could take your place
That's the way
