The Way It Used to Be

	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
