It Comes and Goes - Burl Ives
Everybody asks if I still love you
And if you're still on my mind
They ask me to tell 'em 'bout
My broken heart and I tell 'em
That I'm feeling fine
I lie a little bit and
I proudly say our book
Of love is closed
And your memory
Never bothers me
And when it does it comes and goes
It comes and goes all right
Comes every morning
And it goes all night
I say with lotta pride
And I haven't really lied
I just tell 'em that
It comes and goes
Everybody asks if I cried when
You left and if I've cried
For you since
They hope I have so they can all
Get together and laughing
Up at my expense
So I lie a little bit and
I proudly say not one teardrop flows
When there is a little pain
It's not a constant thing it
Kinda just comes and goes
It comes and goes all right
Comes every morning
And it goes all night
I say with lotta pride
And I haven't really lied
I just tell 'em that
It comes and goes
I tell 'em that it comes and goes
I tell 'em that it comes and goes
