I drove through the desert last night
|
I carried the weight of our last fight
|
Elvis singing "don't be cruel"
|
And I wonder if you feel it too
|
It's like we're going under
|
|
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda county line
|
The question of my heart came to my mind
|
|
If I go on
|
With you by my side
|
Can it be
|
The way it was
|
When we met
|
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
|
|
Maybe a thief stole your heart
|
Or maybe we just drifted apart
|
I remember driving
|
In my daddy's car to the airfield
|
Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield
|
Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust
|
That paradise is buried in the dust
|
|
If I go on
|
With you by my side
|
Can it be
|
The way it was
|
When we met
|
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
|
(The way it was)
|
|
All of our plans have fallen through
|
Sometimes a dream, it don't come true
|
|
Darling!
|
Darling!
|
|
If we go on
|
Can it be
|
The way it was
|
When we met
|
Did you forget all about them golden nights?
|
|
If I go on
|
With you by my side
|
Can it be
|
The way it was
|
My heart is true
|
Girl, it's just you
|
I'm thinking of
|
Can it be the way it was?
|
|
Maybe a thief stole your heart
|
