It’s such a short way between
Your memory and my teardrops.
Your memory brings tears to my eyes,
And it’s such a short time between
Your leaving and my heartbreak.
Just thinking of you makes me cry.
I guess I should thank you
For all that I’ve learned
Since you left me here all alone,
For I’ve learned just how much
Pain my heart can stand
In just the short time since you’ve gone.
I’ve learned a lesson
Of living alone
And found it’s not my way of life
For I’ve been unhappy,
And I’ve learned to cry
Now that you’re no longer my wife.
