If you sit by her, you do it softly Can you talk with her, the way you do
You watch her let move from her lips, most every time she smiles
And when you hold her in your arms, you let her move so pure and free
Happiness I don't know, I never did depend on you
I know there's a difference between the morning and the evening star
But I'm told it's a mystery
It's just two things can't be the same, and it's how it ought to be
There's just one thing that I regret, and it's easy to do
One of all these people here, not one of them will ever be you
You were so small back then, so fragile and thin
You said hey why don't you give up now, you never really wanted to win
And there's a little music, you can still hear it down North Street
We've known each other long enough, to know we'd never meet
