My Man and Me - Elaine Paige

I close my eyes and try to sleep

I count the tears I cry instead of counting sheep

The sun has gone and left the rain with me

And if this is love it’s not all it’s cracked up to be

I’m telling you this much for free

Things ain’t what they used to be

With my man and me

I walk alone through stormy nights

Longing for company

It don’t seem right somehow

To love so much and hurt so desperately

Maybe I should leave

But it seems like we’re caught between

The devil and the deep blue sea

Things ain’t what they used to be

With my man and me

Hold on!

How long can I wait for these feelings to go away?

Where is he now?

Where did he go?

Does he really love me?

I’ll never know

Those words of love come tumbling down

Just like the winter snow

Since he’s not around

I’ll light a fire to warm my lonely heart

Living in the past

I’ve tried but honestly

I just can’t shake the memory

Thinking how it used to be

With my man and me

I’ve tried but honestly

I just can’t shake the memory

Thinking how it used to be

My man and me.
