Manhattan Transfer So You Say Lyrics

So you say, it's a feeling I'll get over someday
So you say, so you say
I should try just to let the flame inside me die
I should try so you say

Against the wind with my face turned
To the empty side of loneliness midnight black and blue

So you say that the world will keep on turning
So you say, so you say
Tell me why, all the stars have lost their mystery now
Tell me why, tell me how

Where love has been, the taste of wine
Seems to linger on like distant perfume And all of the memories carelessly left behind
Ghosts and lies they haunt me wherever I go

So you say that the pain of love will pass away
So you say, so you say

Before goodbye, I look for the fire
Behind your eyes but they're cold as ice
I hear in your voice the echo of love that's gone by
Now I cry, I'll love you for all of my life

So you say, it's a feeling I'll get over someday
So you say, so you say
