Best Foot

 

I'll be on the sunny side of the street

Walking proud, barely glancing, my head held high,

Giving you no idea how incomplete

My world has been since you bid me your goodbye.

There I'll walk, best foot forward, denying

Every bit of heartbreak. I won't let you know

That I've spent all my days and nights crying,

How my love for you continued to grow.

No, I will pretend I'm oblivious,

Will not stop to give you the time of day.

Your business? I'm not even curious.

I'll let you on your merry little way.

Then I'll drive away, find a quiet space

And let all my sadness fill up the place.
