No one can take your place with me And time has proven that I'm right There's no place I'd rather be Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your side on sea No moment steals away unfound Lifetime lived in such a dream Floats like a feather to the ground
And for the first time I've been seeing The things I'd never notice without you And for the first time I'm discovering The things I used to treasure about you
The birds like leaves on Winterwood Sing hopeful songs on dismal days They've learned to live life as they should They are at peace with Nature's ways
You are as natural as the night And all that springs from you is good And the children born beneath your life Are like the birds on Winterwood
And for the first time I've been seeing The things I'd never notice without you And for the first time I'm discovering The things I used to treasure about you
You made me happy you made me sing But now without you I've lost everything And I know know it's true that I I must go through All my life all my life without you
No one to talk to when I'm alone No one to call me call me her own And I know know it's true that I I must go through All my life all my life without you
Maybe tomorrow maybe in time I'll find an angel who wants to be mine Someone who needs me like I'm needing you Someone to love me and to always be true
But oh my darling I love you still I dream about you and I always will And I know know it's true that I I must go through All my life all my life without you
If today was not a crooked highway, If tonight was not a crooked trail, If tomorrow wasn't such a long time, Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all. Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin', And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin', Yes and only if she was lyin' by me, Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
I can't see my reflection in the water(s), I can't speak the sounds that show no pain, I can't hear the echo of my footsteps, Or can't remember the sound of my own name. Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin', And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin', Yes and only if she was lyin' by me, Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river, There's beauty in a raindrop in the sky, But none of these and and nothing else can touch the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes. Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin', And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin', Yes and only if she was lyin' by me, Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
Ev'ry night I sit here by my window (window) Starin' at the lonely avenue (avenue) Watching lovers holdin' hands 'n' laughin' (laughin') And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
CHORUS (Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park (Things) Like a kiss in the dark (Things) Like a sailboat ride (Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried? Things like a lover's vow Things that we don't do now Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to) And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to (talkin' to) When I'm not thinkin' of-a just how much I love you (love you) Well, I'm-a thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
CHORUS
I still can hear the jukebox softly playin' (playin') And the face I see each day belongs to you (belongs to you) Though there's not a single sound and there's nobody else around Well, it's-a just me thinkin' of the things we used to do
CHORUS
And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to Ya got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
