We take so much
For granted you and I
We share a life
In one dimension
Our problems always
Seem to cloud the sky
Yet we don't pay them
Much attention
And with every day
We drift apart
I can feel it in my heart
Somehow you're not
The man I used to know
And though a part of me
Still needs you so
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly
No angry words
And no heart-rending scenes
And we should take it
As a warning
We keep on going through
The old routines
Exchanging kisses
In the morning
And with every day
We drift apart
And a fear is in my heart
I read the signs
And I should be mature
And yet a child
Could not be more unsure
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly, slowly
Our passion's just
A distant memory
And in its place
A dull frustration
A cold indifference
Where there used to be
At least a frequent irritation
But a feeling still
Of tenderness
And of pity, so I guess
If you need someone
In your arms tonight
I'll be that someone
But it won't feel right
Cause something's wrong
And I know my love dies
Slowly
Somehow you're not
The one I used to know
And though a part of me
Still needs you so
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly, slowly
