Im Gettin Better

I’m gettin’ better
jim reeves
I walked by the river
where we said good-bye,
thought of your kisses,
and didn’t even cry —
i’m gettin’ better, i’m 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, i’m gettin’ better.
I know i’ll never be the same —
i was standin’ 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.
