Promenade

Baby, I remember the way you held my hand
 I tried my best to tell you, but you wouldn't understand
 Now I think about you always, and to myself I say your name
 The way we were when forever was just another day
 I traded your sweetness for my loneliness
 And your confidence for my own regret
 And your simple grace for this disarray
 That's my stock and trade while you promenade
 Promenade, yeah
 ♪
 Sometimes I'm singing to the ceiling
 Sometimes I'm talking to the walls
 Sometimes I forget this feeling
 It ever mattered at all
 But in the evening when the sun's down
 There's a sadness on its way
 It's like a ghost that knows my address
 And where I lay
 I traded your sweetness for my loneliness
 And your confidence for my own regret
 And your simple grace for this disarray
 That's my stock and trade while you promenade
 Promenade
 Somehow my losing just comes natural
 Like a southern Democrat
 Oh, nostalgia haunts my memory
 And stands in my path
 ♪
 You promenade to the city
 You promenade to the shore
 The gentlemen says that you look pretty
 So promenade 'round the floor
 And now I think about you always
 And to myself I say your name
 The way we were when forever was just another day
 I traded your sweetness for my loneliness
 And your confidence for my own regret
 And your simple grace for this disarray
 That's my stock and trade while you promenade
 Promenade
 Promenade
 Promenade
 Yeah-yeah-yeah
