Maybe the lateness of the hour Makes me seem bluer than I am But in my heart there is a shower, I hope she'll be happier with him. Maybe the darkness of the hour Makes me seem lonelier than I am, But over the darkness I have no power, Hope she'll be happier with him. I can't believe that she don't want to see me, We lived and loved with each other so long. I never thought that she really would leave me, But she's gone. Maybe the lateness of the hour Makes me seem bluer than I am, But in my heart there is a shower, Hope she'll be happier with him.
