All that Glitters is not Gold

1945 - 1973
Look over yonder, tell me what do you see?
10,000 people looking after me
I may be famous, or I may be noone
But in the end, all the races I've run
Don't make my race run in vane
Seem like there's no tomorrow
Seem like all my yesterdays were filled with pain
There's nothing but darkness tomorrow
If you gonna do me like you say you do
If you gonna change your mind & walk away
It don't seem to matter much anymore
Don't even ask me the time of day
'Cause I don't know
Don't make me live in this pain no longer
You know I'm getting weaker, not stronger
My poor heart can't stand much more
So why don't you just start talkin'
If you're gonna walk out that door, start walkin
I'll get by somehow
Maybe not tomorrow, but somehow
I know someday I will find someone
Who can ease my pain
Like you once done
Yes I know we had a good thing going
Seemed like a long time
Seemed like a long time
Like a long time
Like a long time
