He did not look like one of the regular crowd He seemed a bit misplaced and a little to proud I asked him did he need a drink or have a name And He said "It's Jack and I will take the same"
And then above the noise I heard him say "She left one year ago this very day I still don't understand and sometimes it don't seem fair And tonight its more than I can bare"
'Cause even the strong get lonely sometimes and need a friend But I still got a shot at the pot of gold at the rainbows end And I couldn't spend the tonight with just her memory again 'Cause even the strong get lonely now and then
It soon became clear from his trembling voice She did not leave him of her own free choice A power greater than they both had ever known Took her and left him all alone
'Cause even the strong get lonely sometimes and need a friend But I still got a shot at the pot of gold at the rainbows end And I couldn't spend the tonight with just her memory again 'Cause even the strong get lonely now and then
No I couldn't spend the tonight with just her memory again 'Cause even the strong get lonely now and then.
