You're on your own

And what you need's

A little love and understanding, hee-hee-hee

A little warmth to tell your soul

A gentle bird that softly sings, hee-hee-hee-hee



Each night my voice happens to sneak

Through your transistor radio, ho-ho-ho

I'm just a secret you can keep

And no one ever needs to know



You're in that city far away

I'm on the ship way out at sea

You got some problems you can't face

So leave them behind, any place



For out of sight is out of mind

And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time, and in time

You'll find peace of mind

Ho-ho-kay-ay (okay), good, good



You're room is like a desert isle

You often filled with silent tears, hmm-hmm-hmm

So grab your coat, put on a smile

Go out and buy yourself some cheer, hee-hee-hee-hee

Why sit there thinking of the past

Recounting empty days gone by, hah-hah-hah

When you should make each moment last

It isn't hard to do, just try



Drink to the city far away

To all the sailors 'way at sea

All those problems you can't face

So leave them behind, any place



For out of sight is out of mind

And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time, and in time

You'll find peace of mind

O-kay, hm-hm, (okay), good
