Hard Times

Hard times, and I close my eyes
The telephone rings, and it’s no surprise
One more day has passed me by
And your memory drifts away
Hard times and you dry your eyes
You called me up just to say goodbye
One more day with me by your side
And your memory drifts away
I know there’s something there
Sometimes, I don’t even try
To hold back tears, or save my pride
I want to be with you one more night
But your memory drifts away
Hard times and we fall apart
What we had was from the heart
We were together from the very start
So I can’t let you go away
I know there’s something there
