I walked by the river Where we said goodbye Thought of your kisses And didn't even cry I'm getting better (Getting better) I'm getting better (Getting better) I talked with an old friend He asked about you I managed to tell him With just a tear or two I'm getting better (Getting better) I'm getting better (Getting better) I know I'll never be the same I was standing too close to the flame But it doesn't hurt so much To hear your name I think I'll make it I'm getting better (Getting better)
