I   Once in a while I can smile that old smile   And I know I'm in trouble again   Even though you get older that old tap on the shoulder   Will turn you again and again      Chorus      I couldn't change it, I've never arranged it   That's what the strange bit's always been      Ii   O give me the time and the sweet taste of wine   And I'll tell you that story again   Of the look in his eye long before all the lies   And the parting began to begin      Chorus      Iii   Strange thing this ol' love business   Strange thing this ol' love   Strange thing this love business   Look what love has done to us      Iv   O the making you cry and the saying good-bye   And the whole damn thing is insane   Even though you get older that old tap on the shoulder   Will turn you again and again      Chorus & repeat iii
