the moon is full but my arms are empty all night long how i ve pleaded and cried you always said the day that you would leave me would be a cold day in july your bags are packed but not a word is spoken guess we said everything with goodbye time goes so fast when promises got broken cause here s that cold day in july sun s coming up coming up down on main street children shout as they re running out to play head in my hands here i am standing in my bare feet watching you drive away watching you drive away you said that we were going to last forever you said our love would never die it looks like spring and feels like sunny weather but it s a cold day in july sun s coming up coming up down on main street children shout as they re running out to play head in my hands here i am standing in my bare feet watching you drive away watching you drive away the moon is full my arms are empty all night long how i ve pleaded and cried sun s coming up on the day you re gonna leave me and it s a cold day in july here comes that cold day in july
