HOW MANY TIMES
(Eartha Kitt)

Eartha Kitt - 1991


How many times have I closed the door
And went back to my bed to cry
How many times like I did before
After you had said "Goodbye"

How many times have you said "No more"
When I put you through the same
How many times have you played the game
So I'm ashamed to know my name

Seasons come, seasons go
The leaves are falling one by one
When you return, only I will know
If tomorrow brings the Sun

Flowers bloom in the melting snow
Making love anew again
Fading dreams can heal the pain
Of sorrows that will remain

How many times have I closed the door
And went back to my bed to cry
How many times like I did before
After you had said "Goodbye"

How many times have you said "No more"
When I put you through the same
How many times have you played the game
So I'm ashamed to know my name

(Instrumental Break)

Seasons come, seasons go
The leaves are falling one by one
When you return, only I will know
If tomorrow brings the Sun

Flowers bloom in the melting snow
Making love anew again
Fading dreams can heal the pain
Of sorrows that will remain

How many times have I closed the door
And went back to my bed to cry
How many times like I did before
After you had said "Goodbye"

How many times have you said "No more"
When I put you through the same
How many times have you played the game
So I'm ashamed to know my name
