Loudon Wainwright Iii Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
Abscence makes the heart grow fonder,
And the mind begins to wander back, to happier days.
I guess you could say you were taken for granted,
I went on and on and I raved and I ranted.
Oh, my tyrannical ways.
But now things are different,
'Cause now you are gone.
And I'm not so sure I can carry on.
I always knew you were important to me,
But now I now you're a necessity.
Otherwise, I start to go insane.
Things weren't easy when we were together,
We had plenty of days of lousy weather,
But now, I'm in a hurricane.
And I'm gonna grieve,
And I'm gonna moan,
'Cause you're not here and I'm alone.
The joke's on me, you get the last laugh.
I found the hard way who is my better half,
And now, I'm the worst for the wear.
When I see you again expect some champagne wine,
And on Valentine's day expect a Valentine.
'Cause now I know how much I care.
How much I care.
