The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I met you before the fall of Rome And I begged you to let me take you home You were wrong, I was right You said goodbye, I said goodnight It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before I knew you before the west was won And I heard you say the past Was much more fun You go your way, I go mine But I'll see you next time It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before If I put my fingers here, and if I say "I love you, dear" And if I play the same three chords, Will you just yawn and say It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night Will I see you on The Price Is Right? Will I cry? Will I smile? As you run down the aisle? It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before
