I sit by myself every night,
Alone in my easy chair,
Wondering where has she gone to?
Or if, if she might still care.
What went wrong?
I can't say.
We lost each other in every way.
Sometimes we're blinded don't you know?
'Cause our sentimental heartstrings won't let go.
And when, when she went away, I cried.
Not wanting to admit that she was gone.
Now I sit alone reflecting on my life,
Suspecting all along that something was so wrong.
I tried to forget, but the memories, they won't let me.
I've got a bad case, don't you know?
'Cause my sentimental heartstrings won't let go.
I tried to forget, but the memories, they won't let me.
I've got a bad case, don't you know?
'Cause my sentimental heartstrings won't let go.
I say to myself, Get on with your life.
Will my foolish heart respond?
Yes, it will.
I'll be better off still, when my sentimental heartstrings are gone.
