Who Can I Count On

Who can I count on if I can't count on you I never counted on you makin' me blue
They say you're running round with somebody new
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
I thought I held the precious key to heaven
Your love was sweet and gentle at the start
But now I feel that I can't go on living if living means that we must live apart
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
There goes my happiness and here comes the blues
I can't convince myself that we're really through
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
[ piano ]
The door to happiness was almost opened just one more step or two and I'd be in
And all at once the vows you made were broken
The door to happiness was closed again
Who can I count on...
