WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF ANYMORE
SHE SAID "BYE, BYE" AND CLOSED THE CAR DOOR
I STILL REMEMBER, IT WAS MY SHIRT THAT SHE WORE
ON THAT MORNING
AS THEY RODE AWAY, I TURNED TO THE MAN
STANDIN' NEXT TO ME, HER DAD, AND I SHOOK HIS HAND
AND I SAID "THEY'RE CRAMMED IN LIKE SARDINES IN A CAN"
AND WE LAUGHED
I SAID SEE YOU LATER, ON ANOTHER TIME
HE SAID "TAKE CARE" AND WE SAID GOODBYE
THEN I GOT IN THE CAR, AND I ASKED MYSELF, WHY?
OH DARLING
I WENT BACK HOME THINKIN' ALL MY THOUGHTS UNCLEAR
OF HOW CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE, ALL ENDS DRAW NEAR
THE ONE GIRL I LOVE, AND SHE'S GONE WITH A TEAR
IN MY EYE
CHORUS:
WELL I KNOW THAT SUMMER WINDS WILL BRING HER BACK TO ME
AND MY EXISTANCE DON'T MEAN NOTHIN' SINCE WE'RE APART
HER LEAVIN' TOOK MY MIND, LEFT ME BEHIND
AND SUNK A DAGGER INTO MY HEART
I SIT AND THINK ABOUT THE NIGHT BEFORE
HOW WE SAT UP ALL NIGHT ON HER COLD WOOD FLOOR
AND HOW I TRIED TO KEEP HER FROM CLOSIN' THE DOOR
ON MY LOVE
BUT, NO MATTER HOW I TRY TO PUT MY FOOT IN THE DOOR
SHE SAYS SHE DOESN'T WANNA HURT ME ANYMORE
AND I SAY, OH BABY, I'M NUMB TO THE CORE
OF MY HEART
WELL, I WROTE THIS SONG ON THE SAME GUITAR
I PLAYED WHEN I SUNG FOR HER IN THE GARDEN
"SO NICE WERE THE DAYS WELL SPENT"
SO LONG AGO
IT MEANT SO MUCH THEN, AND IT STILL DOES NOW
AND I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER HOW
I'M GONNA GET ALONG WITHOUT HER ANYHOW
IN THIS LONELY WORLD
REPEAT CHORUS
SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE'LL BE BACK
IN NO MORE THAN TWO MONTHS FLAT
AS ALL ALONE IN THE NIGHT WE SAT
TOGETHER
WELL, I CRY, AND CRY AND WONDER WHY
AND TURN MY HEAD UP TO THE SKY
AND BEG AND PLEAD FOR HER TO TRY
TO STAY WITH ME
BUT, SHE SAYS NO, SHE HAS TO LEAVE
AND TANGLED IS THE WEB WE WEAVE
AS MY HEART HANGS ON MY SLEEVE
FOR ALL TO SEE
REPEAT CHORUS
