My woman had the softest loving eyes I'll ever see But she soon learned to paint them up just trying to please me And I can't forget the times she cried that stuff all down her face Then my lady disappeared without a trace But somehow the man's got to carry on And I'm not the kind to count the days and minutes that she's been gone If you ask how many years, I wouldn't know But it was a million light years ago It was a million light years ago Why did I try to change her? What was I thinking of? From the color of her hair to the way that she made love But I changed her once too often or she'd still be here today Then my lady packed her things and moved away But somehow the man's got to carry on And I'm not the kind to count the days and minutes she's been gone If you ask how many years, I wouldn't know But it was a million light years ago It was a million light years ago Thank you for watching!
