Better Days

I’ll tell you something you didn’t know
I didn’t think you had the nerve to go
I must admit you took me by surprise
I’m wondering what I did to hurt your pride
Now I’m waiting for the sound of your
Footsteps at my door
I’m wondering how long you’ll be now
This time I’m not sure
I’m not sure
But long ago, far away
I can remember better days
Long ago, far away
Seems like a long, long time away
You won’t be there when I get home tonight
Maybe a letter to a friend I’ll write
Might even have myself a drink or two
To ease the pain each time I think of you
I guess you thought, this time you taught
Me how to behave
I broke the rules so you left school
Well, it’s such a shame, such a shame
But long ago, far away
I can remember better days
Long ago, far away
Seems like a long, long time away
I guess you thought, this time you taught
Me how to behave
I broke the rules so you left school
Well, it’s such a shame, such a shame
But long ago, far away
I can remember better days
Long ago, far away
Seems like a long, long time away
