Lately, I have been calling
And when I'm happy you are still crying
Lately, I have been calling
And when you're happy my heart is crying
1969 they fell in love in summer
Joined together hand in hand and married in the winter
The years went by and they're working hard
Cars, and children, houses
The loneliness was setting in and so they had some babies
Lately, I have been calling
And when I'm happy you are still crying
Lately, I have been calling
And when you're happy my heart is crying
1989 their children are in college
The loneliness is a way of life and so they end their marriage
As all they do is fight and every evening argue
Their children are their only life
But still they cannot fix them
Lately, I have been calling
And when I'm happy you are still crying
Lately, I have been calling
And when you're happy my heart is crying
1995 they pass as they are walking
Two strangers are they now no talk could heal their sorrow
He reaches out to talk to her but she pulls away and smiles
In the years that past she met another someone that makes her happy
Lately, I have been calling
And when you're happy my heart is crying
Lately, I have been calling
Now that you're happy my heart is dying
