Watched the planes come in On the early morning flights But I could not stand to see them land without you. Now I'm thumbing through my fortyfives on another endless night And the same old lines Going back in time Tell me this is nothing new. Well I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart All the sad songs take me back to you now that we are apart. Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say: I wish it was Yesterday. So I sit here playing Solitaire It's a game I know so well Ever since that day when you called to say: It's over. Now I've made my reservation at the Heartbreak Hotel While I'm living without you I'm thinking about you Like Only The Lonely do. Well I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart Now I know what Paul Simon meant by the words he found: I wish I was Homeward Bound. Well I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say I wish it was Yesterday I wish it was Yesterday.
