LYRICS:

How insensitive I must have seemed

when she told me that she loved me.

How unmoved and cold I must have seemed

when she told me so sincerely.

Why,she must have asked, did I just turn

and stare in icy silence?

What was I to say? What can you say

when a love affair is over?

Now she's gone away and I'm alone

with the memory of her last look.

Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still,

all her heartbreak in that last look.

How, she must have asked, could I just turn

and stare in icy silence?

What was I to do? What can one do

when a love affair is over
