Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

Getting Over Losing You

I had a feeling I'd run into you

It had to happen I just hoped not this soon

All I wanted was to speak your name

And maybe not start breakin down again

I hoped you'd see me with somebody new

And think that I was fine

But now it ain't no use there's nothing

left to hide

You said I'd get over it

You said it only takes time

That soon I'd be on mt feet again

And over my cryin'

I fought every memory

I conquered a few

But what I can't get over is getting over

losing you

So much for being strong and nonchalant

But you're the only girl I ever wanted

And if I ever tried to slow you down

I was only tryin' to keep you safe and sound

Someday you'll want someone to stand by you

And never let you down

When that day comes darlin'

You'll know the hurt I've found

You said I'd get over it

You said it only takes time

That soon I'd be on my feet again

And over my cryin'

I fought every memory

I conquered a few

But what I can't get over is getting over

losing you

Don't turn away

Darling I pray stay with me now

Stay with me now

Don't throw away

Something we've paid so dearly for

You said I'd get over it

You said it only takes time

That soon I'd be on my feet again

And over my cryin'

I fought every memory

I conquered a few

But what I can't get over is getting over

losing you
