I'll remember

Everytime I've lost another lover
I call up my old friend
And I say "let's get together
I'm under the weather
Another love has suddenly come to an end"

And he listens as I tell him my sad story
And wonders at my taste in men
And we wonder why I do it
And the pain of getting through it
And he laughs and says: "You'll do it again !"

And we'll sit in a bar and talk till two
About life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through

How love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change

And I ask him if his life is ever lonely
And if he ever feels despair
And he says he's learned to love it
'Cause that's really a part of it
And it helps him feel the good times when they're there


But we'll meet the year we're sixty-two
And travel the world as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through

How love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
