I used to laugh when I should cry

I used to let these feelings pass me by

But now that I believe them

I got no-one to leave them to me

You see I traded love for what I thought must be free



So I confess my loneliness

And I guess I've lost the best of the year

That I have lost it through my fingers like a golden breath of air

If I cared I wouldn't be singing this love song of the year



I know the time cannot erase the days

Love is past and I've gone away

From now on I'll make it very clear

Cos' I don't want to write

Another love song of the year



It's a lonely song and not too clear

But to me it's very dear

I guess this song can only be

My feelings went out in the sea of love

To me this has got to be the love song of the year



I know the time cannot erase the days

Love is past and I've gone away

From now on I'll make it very clear

Cos' I don't want to write

Another love song of the year



I used to laugh I used to cry

I used to laugh, these feelings passed me by

From now on I'll make it very clear cos' I don't want to write

Another love song of the year
