A lonely man I know myself to be
It's not as bad
As some things I have seen
The picture painted here
Is not a dream
The only reality
Is the way it seems
The happier you fly
The sadder you fall
The laughter in your eyes
Is never all
Give me strength to move along
Give me strength
To leave my sweetheart
I'm riding down this wet road
In my old car
The moon is almost full
Except for stars
The party ended
Long before the night
She made me feel alive
And that's all right
The happier you fly
The sadder you fall
The laughter in your eyes
Is never all
Give me strength to move along
Give me strength
To leave while she's gone
The happier you fly
The sadder you fall
The laughter in your eyes
Is never all
Give me strength to move along
Give me strength to move along
Give me strength to move along
