Humperdinck Lyrics - Singles - Engelbert

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 would hear our love song, and our melody 

And even if the words are not so tender 

She will always remember 

the way it used to be ..
