Engelbert Humperdinck - The Way It Used To Be lyrics

rate me

THE WAY IT USED TO BE

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 WOULD HEAR OUR LOVE SONG, AND OUR MELODY

AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT SO TENDER

SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WAY IT USED TO BE ..
