I'm sitting here
going round in circles,
all the boring day.
I'm waiting for the coffee,
but you have gone away.
Lonesome days and lonesome nights,
without you by my side,
have passed since you have left my home,
in that awful night.
I recall those sunny springtime mornings,
those stormy nights in fall,
I'd like to feel the same again,
but you don't care at all.
Don't break my heart, Don't break my heart,
Don't let us fall apart, don't break my heart
I'm sitting here without a trace,
why did you go away ?
Oh, how I'd like to see your face,
but you didn't want to stay.
Without you now my life is sad,
I have to recognize,
I wish now I could turn back time
and have to pay the price.
We watched the moon,
we watched the stars,
and sometimes felt so small,
the stars still shining every night,
but you don't care at all.
>> Refrain
>> Solo
I recall those sunny springtime mornings,
those stormy nights in fall,
I'd like to feel the same again,
but you don't care at all.
