Mr. & Mrs. Used to Be - John Prine, Iris DeMent

Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

For oh so long I’ve loved you and I know that you loved me

But time moved on and we move far apart

It’s not the way I wanted but the judge has set you free

Although you’re still the first one in my heart

I just don’t understand it how people such as we

Could know the love that we have known but somehow disagree

I hope that you’ll be happy the same dear you from me

Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

At first it was like heaven on earth for you and me

But heaven’s sure has changed a lot since then

I can’t put all the blame on you for some belongs to me

What started out as heaven reached an end

I guess we could have made it but pride stood in our way

For love to live it must have worked we never seemed the same

And so I say goodbye now kiss the kids for me

Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
