By michael mcdonald & grady walker The sight of her ain't like before For a lonely heart, you should feel much more You left behind a time when dreams came true And in this real and lonely world We only do what we can do All night long that telephone rings You remember how you loved that girl Now you think it don't mean a thing It keeps coming back So you turn away Well, that's all behind you now Like rollin' thunder It just fades away somehow As we get lost in the parade Never tried to give what she was looking for And to a lonely heart, love's an open door All night long that telephone rings You remember how you loved that girl Just when you think it doesn't mean a thing It starts coming back So you turn away Well, that's all behind you now Like rollin' thunder It just fades away somehow As we get lost in the parade
