~> It's Been A Drag Without You!

Thad Wilk

I'll always remember, how we met that day.

I was hooked immediately, you lit up my life!

You turned me on, really took my breath away.

You were with me everywhere I'd go.

I was at ease from your warm, slow burning glow!

``

Then my Doctor on a visit said to me,

that it was best, we part.

He said that in the end my friend;

that you'd surely destroy my heart.

I could not hide the tears that I cried.

Giving you up was very, very rough.

And living without your 'nicotine',

getting through each day'd be tough.

``

I taste you constantly on my lips;

your smell, still lingers on my finger tips

It's torture trying to live without you,

you are on my mind each day and night!

But I knew all along; you'd do me wrong,

that the "Surgeon General", was right~

        G'day Thad - usual spot:

        Nico was my gal once; kissed her regularly;
        So now smoke gets in my eyes, and I cry.
        Some love affairs ainโ€™t wot theyโ€™re cracked up to be;
        Why was it so early we wanted to die?

        Don't miss her at all now.... but it has been thirty five years......

                  I used to be a heavy smoker and gave up exactly forty two years ten days ago on 16th October 1982. Not that I am counting of course.
