It is said that all the good things must come to him who can pretend he doesn't have to wait.
For as surely as the light of day must come to drive the night away,
the needles and the pins, that's where the line begins
with your magnificent outpouring of that old familiar story
that's been used a million times to ease a million minds.

There are times when I have told you that there must be two of us to try to work things out.
But if I can't see you every day then I must hide my thoughts away
and see you when I can and try to understand
with your magnificent outpouring of that old familiar story
that's been used a million times to ease a million minds.

So let us treat our love like any game. To fan the flames would really be a sin.
For as surely as the snow must fall, I shall be waiting for your call,
pretending it is spring and you'll be mine again
with your magnificent outpouring of that old familiar story
that's been used a million times to ease a million minds.
