I used to laugh when I should cry
I used to laugh, these feelings pass me by
But now that I believe them
I've got no one to leave them to me, you see
I've traded love for what I thought must be free
So I confess my loneliness
And I guess I've lost the best of the year
That I have lost it through my fingers
Like a golden breath of air
If I cared I wouldn't be singing
This love song of the year
I know that time cannot erase the days
Love is past and I've gone away
From now on I'll make it very clear
'Cos I don't want to write
Another love song of the year
It's a lonely song and not too clear
But to me it's very dear
I guess this song could only be
My feelings went out in the sea of love to me
This has got to be the love song of the year
I know that time cannot erase the days
Love is past and I've gone away
From now on I'll make it very clear
'Cos I don't want to write
Another love song of the year
Used to laugh, I used to cry
I used to laugh, these feelings passed me by
From now on I'll make it very clear
'Cos I don't want to write
Another love song of the year
