The only time That I fell in love Is when you went away And I don’t know If I’d feel the same If you were here to stay If you were here to stay And I’m trying hard not to fool around Make security my friend But in the end Oh in the end Some sad mornings I wake up And run my fingers through your hair Then stupefied I rub my eyes And see that you’re not there And see that you’re not there And I’m trying to put these dreams into Perspectives that make sense But in the end Oh in the end While I’m waiting at the gate Of your plane arriving late Do these flowers in my hand command my fate As they wilt and fade away As I wait and sip My last straight gin I write the lines of a fool It’s just that you left When I was feeling good And believing you And believing you And I’m trying to remember words You said way back when But in the end Oh in the end
