I'm waiting for the pain to go away I though maybe that this would be the day At noon I tried a little smile Then I sat down and cried a while Just waiting for the pain to go away If I could only get you off my mind But these old memories treat me so unkind The way you laughed your gentle smile Still makes me love you oh so much I know that I can't get you off of my mind I see happy lovers everywhere I go Sharing dreams in a world for two He holds her hand and she holds his They never know how good love is We lost the only chance for me and you So I'm waiting for the pain to go away But I'm afraid the blues are here to stay Not many loves like ours around So easily lost so rarely found Just waiting for the pain to go away To go away
