Learning To Live Again

(Stephanie Davis, Don Schlitz)

I burned my hand,

I cut my face,

heaven knows how long it's been.

Since I've felt

so out of place,

I'm wonderin' if I'll fit in.

Debbie and Charlie

said they'd be here by nine

and Deb said she might bring a friend.

Just my luck,

they're right on time

so here I go again.

I'm gonna smile my best smile

and I'm gonna laugh

like it's going out of style.

Look into her eyes

and pray that she don't see

that learning to live again

is killing me.

Little cafe,

table for four

but there's just conversation for three.

I like the way she let me get the door,

I wonder what she thinks of me.

Debbie just whispered :

" You're doin' fine

and I wish that I felt the same."

She's asked me to dance,

now her hand's in mine.

Oh, my god, I've forgotten her name.

But I'm gonna smile my best smile

and I'm gonna laugh

like it's going out of style.

Look into her eyes

and pray that she don't see.

That learning to live again

Now here we are

beneath her porch light.

And I say :

" What a great time it's been ! "

A kiss on the cheek,

a whisper goodnight.

And I say :

" Can I see you again ? "

She just smiles

her best smile

and she laughs

like it's going out of style.

Looks into my eyes and says :

" We'll see ! "

Oh ! This learning to live again

is killing me.

God, this learning to live again

is killing me !
