mind's more at ease



Some people might remember this song from the movie When Harry Met Sally





Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore




Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore




Darlin' I guess -- my mind's more at ease
But, nevertheless, why bring back old memories?




Been invited on dates
Might have gone, but what for?
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore




Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore




Been invited to clubs
Could've gone, but what for?
Awfully lonesome without you
Don't get around much anymore




Yes darlin' I guess -- my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why bring back old memories?


Been invited to dates
Might have gone, but what for?
Awfully lonesome without you
Don't get around much anymore
