well, she'll be leavin today i do know
so far away
i'm feelin so blue and it shows
in every single way

once that girl, she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry
they say, that you can't miss,
somethin that you've never had
so tell me why,
why i could feel so bad

well we used to walk down the path
just like lovers do
she'd hold my hand and we'd laugh
and i'd stare in her eyes - they were blue, ooh

once that girl she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry

they say, that you can't miss
somethin' that you've never had
so tell me, why
why i should feel so bad...
