The Way It Was

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I drove through the desert last nightI carried the weight of our last fightElvis singing "Don't be cruel"And I wonder if you feel it tooIt's like we're going underSomewhere outside the lonely esmeralda county lineThe question of my heart came to my mindWith you by my sideCan it beThe way it wasWhen we metDid you forget all about those golden nights?Maybe a thief stole your heartOr maybe we just drifted apartI remember driving in my daddy's car to the airfieldBlanket on the hood, backs against the windshieldBack then this thing was running on momentum, love and trustThat paradise is buried in the dustWith you by my sideCan it beThe way it wasWhen we metDid you forget all about those golden nights?All of our plans have fallen throughSometimes a dream, it don't come trueDarling! Darling!(If we go on, can it be?)Can it beThe way it was?When we metDid you forget all about them golden nights?With you by my sideCan it beThe way it was?My heart is trueGirl, it's just youI'm thinking ofCan it be the way it was?Maybe a thief stole your heart
