Baby, I remember the way you held my hand I tried my best to tell you, but you wouldn't understand Now I think about you always, and to myself I say your name The way we were when forever was just another day I traded your sweetness for my loneliness And your confidence for my own regret And your simple grace for this disarray That's my stock and trade while you promenade Promenade, yeah ♪ Sometimes I'm singing to the ceiling Sometimes I'm talking to the walls Sometimes I forget this feeling It ever mattered at all But in the evening when the sun's down There's a sadness on its way It's like a ghost that knows my address And where I lay I traded your sweetness for my loneliness And your confidence for my own regret And your simple grace for this disarray That's my stock and trade while you promenade Promenade Somehow my losing just comes natural Like a southern Democrat Oh, nostalgia haunts my memory And stands in my path ♪ You promenade to the city You promenade to the shore The gentlemen says that you look pretty So promenade 'round the floor And now I think about you always And to myself I say your name The way we were when forever was just another day I traded your sweetness for my loneliness And your confidence for my own regret And your simple grace for this disarray That's my stock and trade while you promenade Promenade Promenade Promenade Yeah-yeah-yeah
