Let Love Return

It was just another morning

It was just another day

I was walking with an old friend

And I turned the other way

You were standing in the spotlight

Of the great almighty sun

It was you

So I asked you out for dinner

And I think it made you think

Cause we talked for several hours

And we ate the kitchen sink

Then you said I should be going

And I said I probably should be too

Why do we live like this

And why don't we learn

To give up this game we play

Let love return

Why can't u see

What you mean to me

Get ourselves together like it's supposed to be

There was something there between us

And I guess we both agreed

So we married by the ocean

It was something else to see

Then we had a couple babies

It was good enough for me

And they grew

We were soldiers in the trenches

We were diamonds in the sky

Then we lost another decade

And the time was flying by

We forgot to love each other

And forgot the reasons why

It was blue

Why do we live like this

And why don't we learn

To give up on anger

And let love return

Why can't u see

What you mean to me

Get ourselves together like it's supposed to be

Supposed to be

When the fireworks were over

And the world was getting tense

It was hard to stay together

When we lost the picket fence

We were running through the money

And it wasn't making sense

It takes two

We were caught up in the moment

When the chips began to fall

We were fighting over dinner

And the pictures on the wall

We were calling our connection

But it wasn't there at all

What to do

Why do we live like this

Why don't we learn

To give up on anger

And let love return

Why can't u see

What you mean to me

Get ourselves together like it's supposed to be

Supposed to be
