I didn't cry today I even smile today

When I heard someone say that you had passed his way

I guess you'd have to say I'm gettin' better

Then I heard our old song the hurt wasn't quite so strong

Maybe it won't be long till all of my hurt is gone

Then I know I'll live on I'm gettin' better

I know I wrote my promise to you I said I'd never get over you

But a man can't spend all of his life fightin' heartaches
and livin' with strife

For the time since I lost you I looked at someone new

Maybe she won't be true but darling neither were you

And that no longer makes me as blue I'm gettin' better
