Engelbert Humperdinck — The Way It Used To Be lyrics

Lyrics

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 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 BACK
