Stephen Bard - Temporary Lyrics

Alone again he watches
As the theatre now grows dark
A couple so romantic
Sit together in the park
Below the ear upon her neck
Her lover leaves his mark
But don't you worry baby
With collar turned now to the rain
He stumbles home to bed
Could have hopped the outbound train
Chose to walk instead
In the silence of his lonely room
A voice inside his head
Says
"Don't you worry, Jerry..."
It's only temporary
This time alone will end
A better place is waiting
Just around the bend
I've got to keep believing
A broken heart can mend
It's only temporary
Temporary
No breakfast on the table
Only coffee or some tea
Either way she's all alone
Not like it oughta be
She had a boyfriend once but he's been
Two years in the navy
Never seen the baby
She says, "It's
Hard to meet someone
When you're a mom at 22
Not too many men
Want to play that scene with you
Sometimes I get the feeling that my life's already through
And I'm
In the cemetery
I wish someone would tell me..."
It's only temporary
This time alone will end
A better place is waiting
For me
Just around the bed
I've got to keep believing
A broken heart can mend
It's only temporary
This time alone
Will end
One night a friend says
"See a movie
I'll watch Jeremy
You really need to get some air
If not some therapy
And whatever you do Terry
Make sure it's a comedy
I don't want you crazy"
Terry grabs a cab down
To the local cineplex
And feels her pulse begin to race
When a man sits right down next to her
And says, "I've
Seen you at the market
Always looking so perplexed
But also always pretty
Hello, my name is Jerry"
It's only temporary
This time alone will end
A better place is waiting
Just around the bend
I've got to keep believing
This broken heart will mend
It's only temporary
This time alone will end
I know I know I know
This time alone will end
