The days are so lonely, the nights are so long Our home is a prison since you are gone And I'll always wonder why our love didn't last With no hope for tomorrow, I'll live in the past A door that won't knock, a phone that don't ring The postman goes by and he don't leave a thing A pain in my heart and tears in my eyes My sweetheart has gone; I'm left here to cry I'm the biggest pretender you ever could see I pretend you still love me; false love couldn't be And then I remember and I know that it's true For you're with another, and I know I've lost you I'll just go on dreaming sweet dreams of the past Of when you still love me and I thought it would last But life is so short, and time moves so fast I'll never forget you as I live in the past
