I used to visit
all the very gay places
Those come with many places
Where one may relaxes
on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad
and solid gray faces
With distant gateways
That used to be there
you could see
where they can watch the way
But too many through the day
Twelve o'clock cocktails
Then you came along
with your silent soul
to take me to madness
I thought for a while
that your pointless smile
was changed with the sadness
of a great love for me
Oh yes I was wrong
again I was wrong
Life is lonely again
and only last year
everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A trifle of hearts
could only be awful
A week in Paris
will ease the bite of it
All I carry it
to smile inspite of it
I'll forget you
I will get you a still
burning inside my brain
Romance is much
stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush life
in some small town
and there I'll be
while I rot with the rest
of those
whose lives are lonely too

sh that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could
touch you now
