He's a Real Gone Guy - Johnny "Hammond" Smith

Tears on a pillow Eyes on the phone You pour all the love that you keep inside Into a song Like he's gone These are the thoughts that you keep inside You smile from your window And stand all alone Pour all the love that you keep inside Into the phone Into the phone And like the leaves on the trees Like the Carpenters' song Like the planes, and the trains, and the lives that were young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song With the style of a widow And the place of your own You pour all the words that you keep inside Into the phone And sit alone And these are the thoughts that you keep inside And you smile from your window And stand all alone And pour all the love that you keep inside Into a song Into a song And like the leaves on the trees Like the Carpenters' song Like the planes and the trains and the lives that were young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song And like the stains on the names of the lives of the young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song And like the leaves on the trees Like the Carpenters' song Like the planes, and the trains, and the lives that were young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song And like the stains on the names of the lives of the young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song So gone So gone La-di-da-da-da La-di-da-da-da La-di-da-da-da, da-da-da

Just put it down to experience Mark it up as a lesson learned over my head Always getting over my head Into another collision Crashing into another love affair, I've done it again I said it wouldn't happen again How many times does my heart have to break Before it stops a-feeling? The same situation makes me wonder How many times must I go under? I've got a lot to learn, I've got a lot to learn Just put it down to experience Another victim of a hit-and-run, she left me for dead She killed me with the things that she said Scrumbling blocks become stepping stones We've all got to find our own way home and climb into bed She killed me with the things that she said How many times does my heart have to break Before it stops a-feeling? The same situation makes me wonder How many times must I go under? I've got a lot to learn, I've got a lot to learn How many times does my heart have to break Before it stops a-feeling? The same situation makes me wonder How many times must I go under? I've got a lot to learn, I've got a lot to learn I've got a lot to learn I've got a lot to learn

Te vas y me dejas sólo Sin darme una explicación Y ahora me pides perdón Para volver a empezar Yo soy para ti un muñeco Sin alma ni corazón Te sirvo de diversión Cuando decides jugar Enredao en ti sin poder salir Pero si te vas, que será de mí Todo acabará Porque tus caprichos y tus mentiras son mi esperanza. Enredao en ti, en tu falsedad Como en la prisión, en la oscuridad Ya no sé que hacer, no quiero perderte Y sin embargo, no puedo verte Las lágrimas de mis ojos Amargan mi soledad Cuando a mi lado no estás Y no te acuerdas de mí No se como continuar viviendo De una ilusión Que viene y va sin razón Y no me deja vivir Enredao en ti sin poder salir Pero si te vas Que será de mi, todo acabará Porque tus caprichos y tus mentiras son mi esperanza. ... lalalalala (bis) Yo soy para ti un muñeco Sin alma ni corazón Te sirvo de diversión Cuando decides jugar Enredao en ti sin poder salir Pero si te vas que será de mí Todo acabará Porque tus caprichos y tus mentiras son mi esperanza Enredao en ti En tu falsedad, como en la prisión Y en la oscuridad Ya no sé que hacer No quiero perderte Y sin embargo no puedo verte Enredao en ti sin poder salir Pero si te vas que será de mí Todo acabará Porque tus caprichos y tus mentiras son mi esperanza Enredao en ti, en tu falsedad Como en la prisión y en la oscuridad Ya no sé que hacer

Nosotros Albert Hammond Atiéndeme, Quiero decirte algo Que quizás no esperes Doloroso tal vez. Escúchame, Que aunque me duela el alma Yo necesito hablartey Así lo haré. Nosotros, Que fuimos tan sinceros Que desde que nos vimos Amándonos estamos. Nosotros, Que del amor hicimos Un sol maravilloso Romance tan divino.
