4. HE’D RATHER NOT THINK ABOUT HER
(Music & Lyric by Louis Rosen)

In the morning when he rises
Puts the coffee on the stove
Does he think about the way things were?
He’d rather not think about her
He’d rather not think about her

He works more now than ever
Sees friends most every night
His plate’s so full that life’s a blur
He’d rather not think about her
He’d rather not think about her

He says, “Oh, my love
A dream of you has control of me
Oh, oh, my love
You lie so deep in the soul of me
There’s no consoling me”

When he lies awake at midnight
When he falls asleep at dawn
When he feels that hopeless yearning stir
He’d rather not think about her
He’d rather not think about her

Ooh, love
A dream of her has control of him
Ooh, ooh, love
She lies so deep in the soul of him
There’s no consoling him

In the morning when he rises
Puts the coffee on the stove
Does he think about the way things were?
He’d rather not think about her
He’d rather not think about her
When he feels that hopeless yearning stir
He’d rather not think about her
He’d rather not think about her
Ooh, ooh
He’d rather not think…
About her
