The Way It Was Paroles

The love we had was never all that bad,
there were smiles and there were tears,
on that special starry night,
with your arms around me,
held on tight.

Wasn't that the way it was,
two strangers reaching for
a worthless cause?
Wasn't that the love we shared
or just the restless years
when no-one cared?

I don't know why
it's hard to say goodbye
or even justify the end.
You meant so very much to me,
then to let you go,
start my life again. when I reached out for you,
you just walked away.

Wasn't that the way it was,
two strangers reaching for
a worthless cause?
Wasn't that the love we shared
or just the restless years
when no-one cared?
Ah
