A lonely man I know myself to be
  It's not as bad
  as some things I have seen.
  The picture painted here
  is not a dream
  The only reality
  is the way it seems.
    The happier you fly
  The sadder you fall
  The laughter in your eyes
  Is never all.
    Give me strength to move along.
  Give me strength
  to leave my sweetheart.
    I'm riding down this wet road
  in my old car
  The moon is almost full
  except for stars.
  The party ended
  long before the night
  She made me feel alive
  and that's all right.
    The happier you fly
  The sadder you fall
  The laughter in your eyes
  Is never all.
    Give me strength to move along.
  Give me strength
  to leave while she's gone.
    The happier you fly
  The sadder you fall
  The laughter in your eyes
  Is never all.
    Give me strength to move along.
  Give me strength to move along.
  Give me strength to move along.
