My Better Years✓

Now you're back on my doorstep a' crying

Like I cried through all those lonely years

But I can't dry your tears

It's been too long since love was here

And I've already gave you my better years

So the pages of time kept right on turning

They never stopped for us to harvest the years

And old embers of love kept right on dying

For there was no one to dry up my tears

Now you're back on my doorstep a' crying

Like I cried through all those lonely years

But I can't dry your tears

It's been too long since love was here

And I've already gave you my better years

But I try not to blame you

And I try not to shame you

All I can do now is wish you well

But if you should need a friend

I'll be there until the end

Just don't ask me to love you again

Don't come back on my doorstep a-crying

Hoping for what's been dead so long

For the embers have all turned to ashes

There's nothing here but old memories and this song

Don't come back on my doorstep a-crying

My friend there's nothing but old memories and this song
