I Once in a while I can smile that old smile And I know I'm in trouble again Even though you get older that old tap on the shoulder Will turn you again and again Chorus I couldn't change it, I've never arranged it That's what the strange bit's always been II O give me the time and the sweet taste of wine And I'll tell you that story again Of the look in his eye long before all the lies and the parting began to begin Chorus III Strange thing this ol' love business Strange thing this ol' love Strange thing this love business Look what love has done to us IV O the making you cry and the saying good-bye And the whole damn thing is insane Even though you get older that old tap on the shoulder will turn you again and again Chorus & repeat III
