ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK - THE WAY IT USED TO BE
(F. Cassano; C. Conti; G. Argencio; R. Cook; R. Greenaway)
Decca AT 15132

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
