Lyrics

[00:19.29] I drove through the desert last night
[00:27.73] I carried the weight of our last fight
[00:36.66] Elvis singing "don't be cruel"
[00:39.48] And I wonder if you feel it too
[00:42.98] It's like we're going under
[00:45.48]
[00:46.42] Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda county line
[00:50.92] The question of my heart came to my mind
[00:53.79]
[00:54.04] If I go on
[00:56.67] With you by my side
[00:58.67] Can it be
[01:00.60] The way it was
[01:03.23] When we met
[01:05.17] Did you forget all about those golden nights?
[01:09.86]
[01:13.36] Maybe a thief stole your heart
[01:22.79] Or maybe we just drifted apart
[01:27.92] I remember driving
[01:30.17] In my daddy's car to the airfield
[01:35.54] Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield
[01:40.79] Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust
[01:45.30] That paradise is buried in the dust
[01:48.11]
[01:48.36] If I go on
[01:50.92] With you by my side
[01:52.98] Can it be
[01:55.36] The way it was
[01:57.48] When we met
[01:59.48] Did you forget all about those golden nights?
[02:04.67] The way it was
[02:07.42]
[02:08.36] All of our plans have fallen through
[02:17.29] Sometimes a dream, it don't come true
[02:22.73]
[02:38.04] Darling!
[02:40.35] Darling!
[02:41.73]
[02:41.98] If we go on
[02:43.11] Can it be
[02:44.04]
[02:45.35] The way it was
[02:47.29] When we met
[02:49.29] Did you forget all about them golden nights?
[02:53.98]
[02:56.16] If I go on
[02:58.91] With you by my side
[03:00.98] Can it be
[03:03.16] The way it was
[03:05.35] My heart is true
[03:07.41] Girl, it's just you
[03:08.23]
[03:09.81] I'm thinking of
[03:12.24] Can it be the way it was?
[03:17.68]
[03:25.55] Maybe a thief stole your heart
[03:29.68]
