Thinking, Long ago when we were young and free Love happened easily and dreams never died Life sung a pretty song, Now those days are gone Crying, Finding comfort in the friends we knew Now it's just me and you trying alone We used to get along (we used to) Now those days are gone Playing with words When there's nothing much to say Searching to find what we lost along the way Could it be one day our feelings changed I hope we see it through 'Cause I just can't stand the thought Of life without you Dreaming, Whispers echo on the summer wind Back where the love begins, When nights were so warm With stars we could wish upon, Now those days are gone We had a chance but we lost it all somehow Broken the spell and our dreams lie heavy now Could it be some day our feelings changed I hope we see it though 'Cause I just can't stand the thought Of life without you Thinking, Long ago when we were young and free Love happened suddenly and we couldn't see Where we were going wrong, Now those days are gone.
