I used to laugh when I should cry I used to let these feelings pass me by But now that I believe them I got no-one to leave them to me You see I traded love for what I thought must be free So I confess my loneliness And I guess I've lost the best of the year That I have lost it through my fingers like a golden breath of air If I cared I wouldn't be singing this love song of the year I know the time cannot erase the days Love is past and I've gone away From now on I'll make it very clear 'Cause' I don't want to write Another love song of the year It's a lonely song and not too clear But to me it's very dear I guess this song can only be My feelings went out in the sea of love To me this has got to be the love song of the year I know the time cannot erase the days Love is past and I've gone away From now on I'll make it very clear 'Cause' I don't want to write Another love song of the year I used to laugh I used to cry I used to laugh, these feelings passed me by From now on I'll make it very clear 'cause' I don't want to write Another love song of the year
