I Haven't Played This Song In Years Lyrics - Three Chord Opera - Neil Diamond

Just beyond my windowpane, I saw you 

Walking in the rain away from me 

Visions of your future lay before you 

You are free 

I saw you in the company of strangers 

Laughing just a little bit too loud 

Looking at reflections in a mirror 

I can see the smiling faces 

But not me among the crowd 

Wondering how 

I wish that I could play this like a love song 

So I could shape it like I wanted to 

I'd make it purely from the heart 

I know that surely from the heart 

There only comes the gentlest of tunes 

But where are you?

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

We tried to set the world on fire 

And almost did with our desire 

Two of us and maybe more 

Kids inside a candy store 

Sparks of joy and celebration 

Suddenly we're drowned beneath the tears 

And baby, you're the reason that 

I haven't played this song in years 

Yes baby, you're the reason that 

I haven't played this song in years 

Some believe in magic potions 

Heads all full of crazy notions 

Castles built upon a sandy shore 

Only magic I believe in 

Is the magic I receive from 

Loving you and needing nothing more 

Nothing more 

We never heard each other's cries 

That's how lovers turn to lies 

When I gave, you wanted more 

Then suddenly we're keeping score 

I forgave your small deceptions 

Till I couldn't hide my deepest fears 

And baby, you're the reason that 

I haven't played this song in years 

yes baby, you're the reason that 

I haven' t played this song in years
