He said, Dear, Im leaving, right there in the hallway
As the party roared on all around
And her head wouldnt turn, O she couldnt look at him
In a whirlpool she quietly drowned
And she said to herself, I wont cry, I wont grieve
But Ill laugh and Ill flow with the wine
With the fast love of strangers well sing Sweet Bye and Bye
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne
How I wish I knew all the old songs theyre singing
Such comfort theyre bringing to a heart thats as empty as mine
O it lifts you so high, does the Sweet Bye and Bye
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne
And she said, Ill be wearing my smile like a mask
And Ill care for each stranger I kiss
And no-one will know that Im wounded and cheated
So close to my moment of bliss
And sometimes you never connect with a song
Till its telling the way that you feel
Putting words to your story, all the pain and the glory
How can it be written so real
How I wish I knew...
