The days are okay, I watch the TV in the afternoon

When I get lonely, the sound of other voices

Other rooms are near to me, I''m not afraid



The operator, she tells the time, it''s good for a laugh

There''s always radio, and for a dime I can talk to God, dial a prayer

Are you there, do you care? Are you there?



Chorus:

And in the winter, extra blankets for the cold, fix the heater, getting old

I am wiser now, you know, and still as big a fool, concerning you



I met your friend, she''s very nice, what can I say?

It was an accident, I never dreamed we''d meet again this way

You''re looking well, I''m not afraid



You have a lovely home, just like a picture, no, I live alone

I found it easier, you must remember how I never liked the party life

Up all night, lovely wife, you have a lovely wife



chorus



And in the winter, extra blankets for the cold, fix the heater, getting old

You are with her now, I know, I''ll live alone forever, not together now
