The Way It Used To Be - Engelbert Humperdinck

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
