A lonely man I make myself to be It's not as bad as some things I have seen The picture painted here is not a dream But only reality the way it seems The happier you fly The sadder you crawl The laughter in your eyes Is never all Give me strength to move along Give me strength to realize she's gone I'm ridin' down Swett Road in my old car The moon is almost full except for stars shinin' The party ended long before the night She made me feel alive and that's all right The happier you fly The sadder you crawl The laughter in your eyes Is never all Give me strength to move along Give me strength to realize she's gone The happier you fly The sadder you fall The laughter in your eyes Is never all Give me strength to move along Give me strength to realize she's gone
