Song Lyrics

It's the same old tears on a new background
Seeing you as a fading photograph
It hurts too much to laugh these days
I'm all right, yes, I'm all right, all right
It's the same old song with a new melody
But this old candle's lingering flame is almost gone
To see you again is all that keeps me hangin' on
I'm all right, yes, I'm all right, all right

Remembering, remembering the familiar heartache
No one but you
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, all right
All right

Stephen Bishop
