PET SHOP BOYS - The Way It Used To Be lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I'm here... you're there<br>

Come closer... tonight I'm lonely<br>

Come here... with me<br>

I want it... the way it used to be<br>

<br>

What is left of love?<br>

Tell me, who will even care?<br>

So much time has passed<br>

I'd still meet you anywhere<br>

Water under bridge<br>

Evening after day<br>

What is left of love<br>

Here that didn't drift away?<br>

<br>

I can remember days of sun<br>

We knew our lives had just begun<br>

We could do anything, we're fearless when we're young<br>

Under the moon, address unknown<br>

I can remember nights in Rome<br>

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

<br>

I'd survive with only memories<br>

If I could change the way I feel<br>

But I want more than only memories<br>

The human touch to make them real<br>

<br>

Another day, another dream<br>

Over the bridge, an empty scene<br>

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

I don't know why we moved away<br>

Lost in the here and now we strayed<br>

Into a New York zone, our promise was betrayed<br>

<br>

I was there, caught on Tenth Avenue<br>

You, elsewhere with Culver City blues<br>

Then and there I knew that I'd lost you<br>

<br>

What is left of love?<br>

Tell me, who will even care?<br>

So much time has passed<br>

I'd still meet you anywhere<br>

Water under bridge<br>

Evening after day<br>

What is left of love<br>

Here that didn't drift away?<br>

<br>

Don't give me all your love and pain<br>

Don't sell me New York in the rain<br>

Let's leave our promises behind<br>

Rewind, and try again<br>

<br>

What remains in time<br>

That didn't fade away?<br>

Sometimes I need to see<br>

The way it used to be<br>

<BR><BR>
