IT COMES AND GOES
(Bill Anderson) (1963)

Eddy Arnold

Everybody asks if I still love you
And if you're still on my mind
They ask me to tell 'em 'bout my broken heart
And I tell 'em that I'm feeling fine
I lie a little bit, and I proudly say
Our book of love is closed
And your memory never bothers me
And when it does it comes and goes

Chorus:
It comes and goes all right
Comes every morning and it goes all night
I save a lot of pride and I haven't really lied
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes

Everybody asks if I cried when you left me
And if I've cried for you since
They hope I have so they can all get together
And laugh it up at my expense

So I lie a little bit and I proudly say
Not one tear drop flows
When there is a little pain it's not a constant thing
It kinda just comes and goes

Chorus
