Now I Can Live Again

(Jack Clement)



When my baby left me

She left trouble all around

She left a tangled mind and a tear in my eye

And my heart was sorrow bound.



But when I woke up this morning

I brushed my teeth and combed my hair

Then I looked all around for a little tear

But the little tear wasn't there.



Now I can walk in the sunshine again

Now I can hold my head up high

Now I can walk like the man I have been

Now I can live again.



--- Instrumental ---



I've spent some long nights thinking

I guess I did some drinking too

I've cried at least the million tears

And I had my share of the blues.



But today it's finally over

The world looks brighter to me now

I'm still here and she's still gone

But it's all right somehow.



Now, I can walk in the sunshine again

Now I can hold my head up high

So I'll say goodbye to my drinking friends

Now I can live again.



Now I can give again...
