I walked by the river Where we said good-bye, Thought of your kisses, And didn't even cry -- I'm gettin?better, I'm gettin?better. I talked with an old friend, he asked about you. I managed to tell him With just a tear or two. I'm gettin?better, I'm gettin?better. I know I'll never be the same -- I was standin?too close to the flame. But it doesn't hurt so much To hear your name. I think I'll make it -- I'm gettin?better. From: "Roy T. O'Conner"
