The Way It Used to Be

I'm here, you're there

Come closer, tonight I'm lonely

Come here with me

I want it the way it used to be

What is left of love? Tell me, who would even care?

So much time has passed, I'd still meet you anywhere

Water under bridge, evening after day

What is left of love? Here that didn't drift away

I can remember days of sun, we knew our lives had just begun

We could do anythin, we're fearless when we're young

Under the moon, address unknown, I can remember nights in Rome

I thought that love would last, a promise set in stone

I'd survive with only memories

If I could change the way I feel

But I want more than only memories

A human touch to make them real

Another day, another dream, over the bridge an empty scene

We'd spend the weekend lost in bed and float upstream

I don't know why we moved away, lost in the here and now we strayed

Into a New York zone, our promise was betrayed

I was there, caught on Tenth Avenue

You elsewhere with Culver City blues

Then and there I knew that I'd lost you

What is left of love? Tell me, who would even care?

So much time has passed, I'd still meet you anywhere

Water under bridge, evening after day

What is left of love? Here that didn't drift away

Don't give me all your love and pain, don't sell me New York in the rain

Let's leave our promises behind, rewind and try again

What remains in time that didn't fade away?

Sometimes I need to see the way it used to be
