It takes a while
before it will be over
with room for someone else
For now it is too empty

where you have always been
People soon forget that
when we have a chat
and laugh at something small

Your mother is great
She does what she can do
so without a man
You know the drill

the neighbour mows the lawn
He's really old
time and again he asks
where you have gone

But if I had known it beforehand
I would just as well have been in love
just as well be that woman
still in love with you
Album "Watertown" (1970, Jake Holmes, sung by Frank Sinatra): "For a While", "Michael & Peter" and "I Would Be in Love (Anyway)"
