When our nights are no longer in white satin 

And you are reaching for your phone 

When I have just become a warm body

And a shoulder to cry on

I have to wonder 

What I really am to you

 

The clock on the wall ticks

And talks

 

Tick

Talk

 

Tick

Talk 

 

Tick

 

Second by second 

Day by day 

In unfamiliar places 

In unfamiliar ways 

I have learned to give my love to you 

 

" Have You read the news today, oh boy! About a lucky man who made the Grade........"
