I Feel Like Buddy Holly

I watched the planes come in

On the early morning flights

But I could not stand to see them land without you

Now I'm thumbing through my forty-fives

On another endless night

And the same old lines going back in time

Tell me this is nothing new

Well, I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's raining in my heart

All the sad songs take me back to you now that we are apart

Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say:

'I wish it was Yesterday'

So I sit here playing Solitaire

It's a game I know so well

Ever since that day when you called to say: 'It's over'

Now I've made my reservation at the Heartbreak Hotel

While I'm living without you

I'm thinking about you

Like only the lonely do

Well, I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's raining in my heart

Now I know what Paul Simon meant by the words he found:

'I wish I was Homeward Bound'

Well, I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's raining in my heart

Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say:

'I wish it was Yesterday'

'I wish it was Yesterday'
