Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder Live by Loudon Wainwright III Lyrics

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
And the mind begins to wander back
To happier days

I guess you could say you were taken for granted
I went on and on and I raved and I ranted
Oh, my tyrannical ways

But now things are different
'Cause now you are gone
And I'm not so sure that I can carry on

Always knew you were important to me
But now I know you are a necessity
Otherwise, I start to go insane

Things weren't easy when we were together
We had plenty of days of lousy weather
But now, I'm in a hurricane

And I'm gonna grieve
And I'm gonna moan
'Cause you're not here and I'm alone
The joke's on me, you get the last laugh
I found out the hard way who was my better half
And now I'm the worse for the wear

When I see you again expect some champagne wine
And on Valentine's day expect a valentine
'Cause now I know how much I care
How much I care
