Lyrics
I know you, I picture your face
And every line and curve I retrace,
I remember you love the Spring,
Heavy dewdrops and your golden ring –
Ooh, ooh, ooh, your golden ring.
It’s been years now; I must confess
That it doesn’t hurt any less,
I know you said I’d be strong
But face it, sometimes honey, you were wrong –
Ooh, ooh, ooh, you were wrong.
Yes, I know you had to say goodbye
But do you know I told a lie?
I know you couldn’t stay,
So I lied, lied, lied to you darling when I said, It’s okay –
Ooh, ooh, ooh, when I said, It’s okay.
Dear God, does she entertain you?
My God, do we entertain you?
In our little houses, yeah?
Such pretty people, ha!
Well I know, yes, I know
That the hardest part of loving her is letting go.
And maybe, just maybe,
As I rise up from this cold earth, you’ll see –
Ooh, ooh, ooh, as she runs to me,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, as she runs to me.
