Perhaps you've heard me say,
Darling, if you went away,
Absence makes the love light shine again;
I never thought I'd have regrets,
For ever saying things like that,
But lately, dear, that's just the way it's been.
I don't believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder,
And I don't believe my heart will heal with time;
It's not true that I don't think about you,
You're out of my sight, and I'm out of my mind.
There's no point now to pretend,
That my wanting you will end,
My situation's only getting worse;
They say it's better to have loved,
Even if you lose it all,
That someday I'll laugh at why I cried at first.
I don't believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder,
And I don't believe my heart will heal with time;
It's not true that I don't think about you,
You're out of my sight, and I'm out of my mind.
You're out of my sight, and I'm out of my mind.
