You never know that you love someone till you lose her
She's out drinking with all the pretty young guys
I know she's gotta get it out of her system
Cuz she's never been alone her entire life

And I think it's gonna rain all of the time
November wind wailing outside
The days are short, the nights are long
I'm banging this piano till the feeling's gone
I'd rather be playing with her than playing this sad old song

We never fought or gave a thought to parting
I was over the moon for you, you took it in stride
So I brought back your boots and these long legs went walking
Out the door, your sight, but not your mind

And I think it's gonna rain all of the time
November wind wailing outside
The days are short, the nights are long
I'm banging this piano till the feeling's gone
I'd rather be playing with her than playing this sad old song
