Come and go now as you please

Your actions write the melodies

To those 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



And I finally found that life goes on without you

And my world still turns when you're not around

And I finally found that life goes on without you

And my world still turns when you're not around

And I finally found that all



Your actions write the melodies

To the songs that we sing

Your actions write the melodies

To the songs that we sing

And you just sing along out loud



Come and go now as you please

Your actions write the melodies

To those 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

And I finally found that life goes on without you

And my world still turns when you're not around

And I finally found that all



Your actions write the melodies

To the songs that we sing

Your actions write the melodies

To the songs that we sing

And you just sing along out loud
