I used to laugh when I should cry
I used to let these feelings pass me by
But now that I believe them
I got no-one to leave them to me
You see I traded love 
for what I thought must be free

So I confess my loneliness
And I guess I`ve lost the best of the year
That I have lost it through my fingers
like a golden breath of air
If I cared I wouldn`t be singing 
this love song of the year

I know the time cannot erase the days
Love is past and I`ve gone away
From now on I`ll make it very clear
Cos` I don`t want to write
Another love song of the year

It`s a lonely song and not too clear
But to me it`s very dear
I guess this song can only be
My feelings went out in the sea of love
To me this has got to be the love song of the year

I know the time cannot erase the days
Love is past and I`ve gone away
From now on I`ll make it very clear
Cos` I don`t want to write
Another love song of the year

I used to laugh I used to cry
I used to laugh, these feelings passed me by
From now on I`ll make it very clear cos`
I don`t want to write
Another love song of the year
