I'm lying here thinkin bout our weekends at home
we'd rent a movie enjoy being all alone
you'd make a special home cooked dish
I'd mix some drinks with a different twist
Suddenly we'd kiss because it felt so right
with the radio playin low we'd discuss our life
talk about the future spill our eager thoughts
later we'd make love and share some pillow talk.
(build)
Now I'm starin at the ceiling
In this flea bag of a room
with a face I don't know
by my side instead of you.
Tryin to get over you with someone else
wishin I could find a way to deal with myself

Chorus:
Girl we have a history
of sharing love and tears
Things he'll never get to know
bout your needs and fears
if we don't get back together
we'll waste our final years

Oh I can't forget all the vacations with you
fancy restaurants night life and dancing til two
I can still see you in your long evening gown
at special occasions with your elegance abound
But I still loved you in those old jean shorts
workin in the garden or at the summer resort
Can't figure what happened to our committment and dreams
those promises of me for you and you for me

chorus:
Girl we have a history
of sharing love and tears
Things he'll never get to know
bout your needs and fears
if we don't get back together
we'll waste our final years

Time is fleeting, and I'm getting older too.
