It is said that all the good things
Must come to him who can pretend
He doesn't have to waitFor as surely as the light of day
Must come to drive the night away
The needles and the pins
That's where the line beginsWith your magnificent outpouring
Of that old familiar story
That's been used a million times
To ease a million mindsThere are times when I have told you
That there must be two of us
To try to work things outBut if I can't see you everyday
Then I must hide my thoughts away
And see you when I can and try to understandWith your magnificent outpouring
Of that old familiar story
That's been used a million times
To ease a million mindsSo then let us treat our love like any game
To fan the flames would really be a sin
For as surely as the snow must fall
I shall be waiting for your call
Pretending it is spring and you'll be mine againWith your magnificent outpouring
Of that old familiar story
That's been used a million times
To ease a million mindsWith your magnificent outpouring
Of that old familiar story
That's been used a million times
To ease a million minds
