Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
The Sun comes up and brings the dawn As usual When I awake I'll find you gone As usual But I can't find a way to let This crazy heart of mine forget I pretend you're still beside me As usual Each evening I take a walk As usual I make believe that we still talk As usual People always stop and stare I guess they just don't see you there Don't they know you'll always be right here As usual Today I looked into my mirror As usual I told myself that you're still here As usual And as I stood there telling lies The tears began to fill my eyes 'Cause I know I'm only fooling myself As usual
