Lyrics
Happiness comes and happiness goes
The why or the wherefore nobody knows
One day we love, then one day we hate
How often, how often, we understand too late
Chorus
When you’re alone on the street of regret
And your eyes are dim and your cheeks are wet
When you know you’ve been wrong
And it’s too late to mend
You just stumble along
Wondering when you will end
When you’re alone with your dreams of the past
And you realize what love means at last
Just remember the glory
Of love’s sweet story
When you’re alone on the street of regret
