I walked by the river Where we said goodbye Thought of your kisses And didn't even cry I'm gettin' better (gettin' better) I’m gettin' better (gettin' better)
I talked with an old friend He asked about you I managed to tell him With just a tear or two I'm gettin' better (gettin' better) I'm gettin' better (gettin' better)
I know I'll never be the same I was standing too close to the flame But it doesn't hurt So much to hear your name I think I'll make it I'm gettin' better (gettin' better)
