Holymanmn

Here you go, if you're still interested!

Close your eyes and count to ten
With a bit of luck, I'll be gone by then
It's a cruel, cruel way to break a young girl's heart
I think I loved you better when we were apart
You used to write to me and tell me that you loved me
You used to telephone and whisper that you cared
But you no longer do these things
I guess you buried your feelings
And now I'm going to dig a hole for my own
---
Too many tears
Now I wish you were someone else
Too many tears
Now I wish you were someone else
Like Marilyn, with her golden skin
Or Louise Brooks with the calendar looks
Like Patricia Hayes, in her better days
I wish you were someone else
Someone I could love
---
How I miss those [?] days
When the time together was anticipated pleasure
It's a cruel, cruel way to break a young man's heart
I know I loved you better when we were apart
---
You used to write to me and tell me that you loved me
You used to telephone and whisper that you cared
But you no longer do these things
I guess you buried your feelings for me
And now I'm going to dig a hole for my own
---
Too many tears
Now I wish you were someone else
Too many tears
Now I wish you were someone else
Like Marilyn, with her golden skin
Or Louise Brooks with the calendar looks
Like Patricia Hayes, in her better days
I wish you were someone else
Someone I could love
Someone I could love
Someone I could love
Someone I could love
