Lyrics

Well, you said goodbye
And good luck in your dear john letter
And I thought I'd die
'Cuz I thought we were carved in stone
And it made me cry as I walked through the clear, cold weather
And then I dried my eyes
And I tried livin' all alone

Well, the clouds piled high
And the snow didn't make things better
As the time crawled by
I went down through a dark ordeal
Then to my surprise there blew
A breeze from the springtime heather
And as it breathed on me
I could feel how my heart could heal

Now you come back
Just when ev'rything's better
Now you come back
Just when ev'rything's great
Now you come back
But I've got it together
Now you come back
But it's a little too late

Count up the seasons
Count up the months
Count up the days you've been gone
I was a grievin' fool for you once
But now you've been gone for too long

And you just drop by
On a night with a full moon shining
And you just say "hi"
And you ask if I'm by myself
Well, you might think I'm still the same fool you left here pining
Hey, but I'm a brand new guy
And I suggest you go somewhere else

Now you come back
Just when ev'rything's better
Now you come back
Just when ev'rything's great
Now you come back
But I've got it together
Now you come back
But it's little too late

Now you come back
Just when ev'rything's better
Now you come back
Just when ev'rything's great
Now you come back
But I've got it together
Now you come back
But it's a little too late
