Absence makes the heart grow fonder And the mind begins to wander back to happier days. I guess you'd say you were taken for granted I went on and on and I raved and I ranted,oh-- My tyrannical ways. Bridge 1 But now things are different, Cause now you are gone, I'm not so sure I can carry on. Always knew you were important to me But now I know you are a necessity, otherwise-- I start to go insane. Things weren't easy when we were together, We had plenty of days of lousy weather I'm in a hurricane. Bridge 2 I'm gonna grieve, I'm gonna moan. Cause you're not here, I'm all alone. The joke's on me You get the last laugh I found out the hard way you was my better half, and now- I'm the worse for the wear. When I see you again expect some champagne wine, On Valentine's Day expect a valentine Cause now I know How much I care. How much I care.
