Liza, Liza
Skies are gray
But if you smile on me
All the clouds will roll away
Liza, Liza
Don't delay
Just keep me company
And the clouds will roll away.

We had an apartment in the city
Me and Loretta liked living there
It'd been years since the kids had grown
Lives of their own, left us alone

And Joe is somewhere on the road
We lost Davy in the Korean war
Still don't know what for, don't matter anymore

And Holly she found it with Susan.
