  • I hear you're taking the town again
    Havin' a good time with all your good-time friends
    I don't think that you think of me
    You're on your own now, and I'm alone and free

    I know that I should get on with my life
    But a life lived without you could never be right

    As long as the stars shine down from the heavens
    Long as the rivers run to the sea
    I'll never get over you getting over me

    I try to smile so the hurt won't show
    Tell everybody that I was glad to see you go
    But the tears just won't go away (won't go away)
    Loneliness found me, looks like it's here to stay

    I know that I oughta find someone new
    But all I find is myself always thinking of you

    As long as the stars shine down from the heavens
    Long as the rivers run to the sea
    I'll never get over you getting over me

    Oh, no matter what I do
    Each night's a lifetime to live through
    I can't go on like this
    I need your touch
    And you're the only one I've ever loved
    Oh

    And as long as the stars shine down from the heavens
    Long as the rivers run to the sea
    I'll never get over you getting over me
    I'll never get over you getting over
    Never get over you getting over
    I'll never get over you getting over me Writer/s: Diane Eve Warren
