Lyrics

[00:00.50] The Way It Used To Be
[00:07.56] -Engelbert Humperdinck
[00:12.56]
[00:14.58] Lonely table just for one
[00:22.20] In a bright and crowded room
[00:29.20] While the music has begun
[00:36.30] I drink to memories in the gloom
[00:43.79] Though the music's still the same
[00:50.58] It has a bittersweet refrain
[00:55.32]
[00:56.70] So play the song the way it used to be
[01:04.13] Before she left and changed it all to sadness
[01:11.33] And maybe if she's passing by the window
[01:16.68] She will hear a love song
[01:20.25] And a melody
[01:26.01] And even if the words are not so tender
[01:31.29] She will always remember
[01:35.38] The way it used to be
[01:39.59]
[01:42.28] Friends stop by and say hello
[01:49.69] And I laugh and hide the pain
[01:56.73] It's quite easy 'til they go
[02:04.06] Then the song begins again
[02:08.44]
[02:09.84] So play the song the way it used to be
[02:17.29] Before she left and changed it all to sadness
[02:24.68] And maybe if she's passing by the window
[02:29.96] She will hear a love song
[02:33.75] And a melody
[02:39.40] And even if the words are not so tender
[02:44.72] She will always remember
[02:49.20] The way it used to be
[02:58.08]
