It's been a while how have you been

It's really good you know to see you again

You'd think by now those old feelings had died
Dm G7
But it only takes just one look in your eyes

And it's all I can do to talk about the weather
C Am Dm G7
To keep myself together when I'm falling apart
C Am G7
And it's all I can do to smile and say I'm fine

When I'm really losing my mind it's all I can do

To keep this heart from just breaking in two

To see the lips I used to kiss
C Am G7
Doesn't make it easy to just stand here like this
Am D7
I get to thinking I'm doing all right
Dm G7
Then I see the arms that once held me so tight
C Dm G7
And it's all I can do to talk about the weather
