Last year seems years away. Last night seems lifetimes away. This moment seems like a dream.

The tissues know something. Even the mirror knows. My music knows it And especially my pillow. My books can see it

While I’m alone, He’s with her. While I’m crying, He’s kissing And rolling

I sing of a new carol Which starts silly giggles As a speeding blue carriage Runs merrily through the dark.
