I watched the planes come in on the early morning flights

But I couldn't stand to see them land without you

Now I'm fumbling through my 45s on another endless night

Every single line's going back in time

Tell me this is nothing new



Well I feel like Buddy Holly 'cos 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 the day you called to say it's over

Now I made my reservation at the Heart Break Hotel

While I'm living without you 

I'm thinking about you like only the lonely do



Well I feel like Buddy Holly ‘cos it's raining in my heart 

All the sad songs take me back to you 

Now that we are apart 

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

“I wish I was homeward bound” 



Well I feel like Buddy Holly 'cos 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”
