WENT TO #2 IN 1966. WRITTEN BY PAUL SIMON AND BRUCE WOODLEY OF THE SEEKERS. LYRICS: I should have known you'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now, I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me
And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
You never care for secrets I confide
For you, I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give
And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
The story's in the past with nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend
And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
Oh, I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
Relates to a part of my life :)

I remember this song so well when it came out. At the time I was 15 years old and riding my bicycle. It came over the radio waves on my little transistor radio and I pulled over to the ditch to revel in it. Thanks for posting this.

John Lennon suggested the name since there was a traffic circle in Easton, PA but he told them to spell it with a Y.
