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 could not last      But oh a friend   Like a fool mentions your name      Sunny days, drunken nights   You smile and say It's all right   But oh the cold, cold rain   At the mention of your name      Forgive me please   If I shrug my shoulders   When I put my friends 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   At the mention of your name
