There were you and me Seems like twenty five years ago This old city was different then How were we to know I've got to live my life In a simple way Got to live it all In a single day, a single day The one I love is still in you And the one I want is in there too The one I love is still in you I don't have the time that I used to I can be your miracle man Maybe it's my day I was always a lucky man Teach me how to pray I believe in you You know it too You can leave me out But what I do is what I do The one I love is still in you And the one I want is in there too The one I love is still in you I don't have the time that I used to The one I love is still in you And the one I want is in there too The one I love is still in you I don't have the time that I used to The one I love The one I want The one I love The one I want The one I love is still in you And the one I want is in there too The one I love is still in you I don't have the time that I used to The one I love is still in you And the one I want is in there too The one I love is still in you I don't have the time that I used to
