Kim Carnes - Waiting for the Pain to Go Away lyrics

I'm waiting for the pain to go away

I though maybe that this would be the day

At noon I tried a little smile

Then I sat down and cried a while

Just waiting for the pain to go away

If I could only get you off my mind

But these old memories treat me so unkind

The way you laughed your gentle smile

Still makes me love you oh so much

I know that I can't get you off of my mind

I see happy lovers everywhere I go

Sharing dreams in a world for two

He holds her hand and she holds his

They never know how good love is

We lost the only chance for me and you

So I'm waiting for the pain to go away

But I'm afraid the blues are here to stay

Not many loves like ours around

So easily lost so rarely found

Just waiting for the pain to go away

To go away
