Burl Ives - It Comes And Goes

(Tell 'em that it comes and goes)
Everybody asks me if I still love you and if you're still on my mind
They ask me to tell 'em bout my broken heart I tell
'em that I'm feeling fine
I lie a little bit and I proudly say our book of love is closed
And your memory seldom bothers me and when it does it comes and goes
It comes and goes all right it comes every morning and it goes all night

I say with lotta pride and I haven't really lied
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes
(Tell 'em that it comes and goes)
Everybody asks me if I cried when you left and if I've cried for you since
They hope I have so they can all get together
And laughin' up at my expense
So I lie a little bit and I proudly say not one teardrop flows
When there is a little pain it's not a constant pain
it kinda just comes and goes
It comes and goes all right...
I tell 'em that it comes and goes
