The sight of her ain't like before
For a lonely heart, you should feel much more
You left behind a time when dreams came true

And in this real and lonely world
We only do what we can do


All night long that telephone rings
You remember how you loved that girl
Now you think it don't mean a thing

It keeps coming back
So you turn away


Well, that's all behind you now
Like rollin' thunder
It just fades away somehow

As we get lost in the parade

Never tried to give what she was looking for

And to a lonely heart, love's an open door

All night long that telephone rings

You remember how you loved that girl
Just when you think it doesn't mean a thing
It starts coming back

So you turn away

Well, that's all behind you now

Like rollin' thunder
It just fades away somehow
As we get lost in the parade
