Everywhere I look the sun is shining But it's always raining here inside I can see You really had a hold on me It's a mean old love With a flame that never dies Won't you tell me why I can't say goodbye Everywhere I go you're in my shadow When I turn around there's no one there And it's a real bad sign I'm walking on a real thin line A fool in love with a fool that never cared Won't you tell me why I can't say goodbye Won't you tell me why Ask anyone you know And they'll say love fades away But this heart's cryin' just like yesterday And it's a real bad sign I'm walking on a real thin line A fool in love with a fool that never cared So won't you tell me why I can't say goodbye Won't you tell me why I can't say goodbye
