Time goes by
And every single tear
It must have well run dry
And the lonely nights
Become a strange
Accepted way
And the years go past
Just like the old song says
The pain with time has healed
It couldn't last
But, oh, a friend
Like a fool
Mentions your name
Sunny days
Drunken nights
You smile and say
"Oh, it's alright"
But, oh, the cold
Cold rain
At the mention of
Your name
Forgive me please
If I shrug my shoulders
When I put my friend at ease
As I get older
It's not that I
Don't feel colder
Than before
Oh, I've become
So good at hiding
What I feel
Without confiding
It's still the same
Darling, still the same
At the mention of
Your name
