The Way It Use 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 BITTER SWEET 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 MELOD Y
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 MELOD Y
AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT SO TENDER
SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WAY IT USED TO BE
