I've learned to do some simple things
Like lock the door and shut the lights
And pay the paperboy on time
And try to miss you less each night

So please won't you tell your dreams
To leave my room alone
Please won't you tell your dreams
To leave my room alone

I took the dog out for a walk
I gave the laundry man a beer
I washed the dishes in the sink
And took your picture off the mirror

I saw a movie just last night
I sat and cried the all way through
I went to bed at ten o'clock
I closed my eyes and there was you
