The days are okay I watch the TV in the afternoon If I get lonely The sound of other voices, other rooms Are near to me, I'm not afraid. The operator, she tells the time It's good for a laugh There's always radio And for a dime I can Talk to God, dial-a-prayer, Are you there? Do you care? Are you there? And in the winter Extra blankets for the cold Fix the heater getting old I am wiser now, you know And still as big a fool Concerning you I met your friend She's very nice What can I say? It was an accident I never dreamed we'd meet Again this way, you're looking well I'm not afraid You have a lovely home Just like a picture No, I live alone I found it easier You must remember how I never liked the party life Up all night, lovely wife You have a lovely wife And in the winter Extra blankets for the cold Fix the heater getting old You are with her now, I know I'll live alone forever Not together now
