It is said that all the good things   Must come to him who can pretend   He doesn't have to wait      For as surely as the light of day   Must come to drive the night away   The needles and the pins   That's where the line begins      With your magnificent outpouring   Of that old familiar story   That's been used a million times   To ease a million minds      There are times when I have told you   That there must be two of us   To try to work things out      But if I can't see you everyday   Then I must hide my thoughts away   And see you when I can and try to understand      With your magnificent outpouring   Of that old familiar story   That's been used a million times   To ease a million minds      So then let us treat our love like any game   To fan the flames would really be a sin   For as surely as the snow must fall   I shall be waiting for your call   Pretending it is spring and you'll be mine again      With your magnificent outpouring   Of that old familiar story   That's been used a million times   To ease a million minds      With your magnificent outpouring   Of that old familiar story   That's been used a million times   To ease a million minds
