You spend all your evenings alone now
Mostly looking at her photograph
You sing all your love songs from memory
For memories are all that you have
And there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime
With no one beside you to hold
And nothing so long as a lifetime
When you're Getting Nothing But Old


You never payed too much attention
It all seemed ok in your mind
She even tried telling you straight out
But you brushed her off every time

Now there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime
With no one beside you to hold
And nothing so long as a lifetime
When you're Getting Nothing But Old


Love starts out all magic and flowers
Like nothing could ever go wrong
But love needs its care and its feeding
Now all you have left is this song

Oh, there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime
With no one beside you to hold
And nothing so long as a lifetime
When you're Getting Nothing But Old


You know now the ways that you hurt her
The times you were stubborn and wrong
If you could you'd turn back the hours
And sing a much happier song

But there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime
With no one beside you to hold
And nothing so long as a lifetime
When you're Getting Nothing But Old

Oh, there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime
With no one beside you to hold
And nothing so long as a lifetime
When you're Getting Nothing But Old
