You Don't Have To Be Present To Win

(альбом: Puttin' On - 1967)

My chances are greater I thought with him gone
She'll forget him and our love will move along
But one kiss told me I'm still just a friend
No, you don't have to be present to win

He stamped his memory it seems on your heart
A memory that's over love when you're apart
Just a thief in the night is all I've ever been
No, you don't have to be present to win

I've been taking advantage of your loneliness
Your arms were reaching but for someone you've missed
If you don't until eternity doesn't have to worry till then
No, you don't have to be present to win

He stamped his memory it seems on your heart
A memory that's over love when you're apart
Just a thief in the night is all I've ever been
No, you don't have to be present to win
