The Way It Used To Be Lyrics

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 will 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 anything
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 will 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 northern 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
