She left, you stayed
It really wasn’t simple at all
You cried, I smiled
I really wasn’t lonely at all

And no one really knows
What you gave me
What you made
What you gave
What you braved
What you saved

Years of devo­tion
Years of devo­tion
I got tears in my eyes

You’re good
You’re strong
You really, really helped me along

She left, she’s gone
And you, you stuck it out on your own

And when I think of you
I wish I could phone you
I get sad
I can’t call
I can’t call
I can’t call

Years of devo­tion
Years of devo­tion
I got tears in my eyes

Years of devo­tion
Years of devo­tion
Years of devo­tion
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tears in my eyes
Tears in my eyes
Tears in my eyes
Dad, dad, dad
Dad, dad, dad
Dad, dad, dad
