The mention of your name

Time goes by and every single tear
it must have well run dry
and the lonely nights
become a strange accepted way
and the years go past
just like the old song says
the pain with time has healed, it couldn't last
but oh a friend like a fool
mentions your name
Sunny days, drunken nights
you smile and say, it's alright
but oh the cold cold rain
at the mention of your name
Forgive me please
if i shrug my shoulders
when i put my friend at ease
as i get older
it's not that i don't feel colder than before
oh i've become so good at hiding
what i feel without confiding
it's still the same, darling still the same
at the mention of your name
