Come and go now as you please 
Your actions write the melodies 
To the songs that we sing 
And you just sing 

And I finally found that life goes on without you 
And my world still turns when you're not around 

Is this the way you want it? 
Is this the way it has to be? 
Sitting here beside you 
But my heart's lost in New Orleans 
Dreams come clever 
Hearts now severed 
Difference of forever 
And I am lost there 

Come and go now as you please 
Your actions write the melodies 
To the songs that we sing 
And you just sing along out loud
