When it hits me that she's gone

I think I'll run for president

Get my face put on the million dollar bill.

So when these rich men that she wants

Show her ways they can take care of her

I'll have found a way to be there with her still.

When it hits me that she's gone

I think I'll be an astronaut

Make the moon my home

And leave the earth behind.

So when she steps out into the night

And finds the light that makes her prettiest

She'll be facing me every time she shines.

When it hits me that she's left me alone

When I finally move on with my life

Her goodbye written into stone

And her shadow grown into a night.

When it hits me that she's gone

I think I'll be a movie star

Play the finest men the world has ever seen.

So when these lovers that she's found

Show her ways they learned to talk to her

Behind each perfect word there'll be a little bit of me.
