Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I'm not playing solitaire I take a book down from the shelf
And what with programs on the air, I keep pretty much to myself
[Verse 2]
Missed the Saturday dance, heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you, don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club, got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you, don't get around much anymore
[Verse 3]
Oh, darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But, nevertheless, why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates, might have gone but what for?
Awfully different without you, don't get around much anymore
[Verse 4]
Oh, darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But, nevertheless, why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates, might have gone but what for?
Awfully different without you, don't get around much anymore
Don't get around much anymore
Don't get around much anymore
