How long has it been since I held you near？
How long will it be till I have you right here？
You say that it hurts I can't disagree.
But how can I hold on to someone who's leaving me？

And mary says she's gonna be OK.
She tells me things are getting busier these days.
And mary says she's gonna be alright.
You know how much I need her in my life.
Goodbye yesterday, I see my dreams walking away.
And mary looks like she did before.

Except she don't love me, she don't love me anymore.
I could shake your hand or I could kiss you goodbye.
But I just might break down looking in your brown eyes.
So what happens next do I listen to my mind or heart？
I don't know where to start feeling alright again......

And mary says she's gonna be OK.
She tells me things are getting busier these days.
And mary says she's gonna be alright.
You know how much I need her in my life.
Goodbye yesterday, I see my dreams walking away.
And mary looks like she did before.
Except she don't love me.

And mary says she's gonna be OK
She tells me things will be much easier someday
And mary says she's gonna be alright
You know how much I'm missing her deep inside
And mary says she's gonna be OK
she's gonna be alright
she's gonna be alright
