The Same Old Tears On A New Background

(album: Careless - 1976)

It's the same old tears on a new background
Seeing you as a fading photograph
It hurts too much to laugh these days

But I'm all right
Yes, I'm all right
I'm all right

It's the same old song with a new melody
This old candle's lingering flame is almost gone
To see you again is all that keeps me hanging on

But I'm all right
Yes, I'm all right
I'm all right

Remembering, remembering
The familiar heartache
Well no one but you
Could ever make this dream come true

It's the same old me crying the same old tears
And I walk away like I always do
Still in love with you

But I'm all right
Yes, I'm all right
I'm all right

I'm all right
Yes, I'm all right
I'm all right
