I walked by the river

Where we said good-bye,

Thought of your kisses,

And didnt even cry --

Im gettin better, Im gettin better.



I talked with an old friend,

he asked about you.

I managed to tell him

With just a tear or two.

Im gettin better, Im gettin better.



I know Ill never be the same --

I was standin too close to the flame.

But it doesnt hurt so much

To hear your name.

I think Ill make it -- Im gettin better.
