a lot of tears a lot of hate
there it goes all the magic
but that´s alright
and it´s her on the phone pretending everything is just tragic
i´ve been counting the years trying to fake my way all around it and get along

but she was great when she was great

i remember the kick
1956 was just magic and came undone
watch him yearning for the throne back in 1969 with a habit but that´s alright

´cause she was great when she was great

but then again you got me wrong
´couse you don´t have to worry what´s on my mind
i´ve been staring at the clock waiting to be part of the magic
i guess at least i got a place to be in between a shot and a dram

but we were great when we were great
