|
The Way It Used To Be |
|
-Engelbert Humperdinck |
|
|
|
Lonely table just for one |
|
In a bright and crowded room |
|
While the music has begun |
|
I drink to memories in the gloom |
|
Though the music's still the same |
|
It has a bittersweet refrain |
|
|
|
So play the song the way it used to be |
|
Before she left and changed it all to sadness |
|
And maybe if she's passing by the window |
|
She will hear a love song |
|
And a melody |
|
And even if the words are not so tender |
|
She will always remember |
|
The way it used to be |
|
|
|
Friends stop by and say hello |
|
And I laugh and hide the pain |
|
It's quite easy 'til they go |
|
Then the song begins again |
|
|
|
So play the song the way it used to be |
|
Before she left and changed it all to sadness |
|
And maybe if she's passing by the window |
|
She will hear a love song |
|
And a melody |
|
And even if the words are not so tender |
|
She will always remember |
|
The way it used to be |
