Well I can’t forget this evening
Though your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes the
Sorrow show – yes it shows

And I can’t forget tomorrow when I think
Of all your sorrow – when I had you there
And then let you go
And now it’s only fair that I should let you know
Yeah – gotta know

I can’t live – if living is without you
I can’t give – I can’t give anymore
I can’t live – if living is without you
I can’t give – I can’t give anymore

Well I can’t forget this evening
Though your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
