Wrapped around each other Trying so hard to stay warm That first cold winter together Lying in each other's arms Watching those old movies Falling in love so desperately Honey I was your hero And you were my leading lady. We had it all Just like Bogie and Bacall Starring in our old late, late show Sailing away to Key Largo Honey can't you remember We played all the parts That sweet scene of surrender When you gave me your heart Please say you will...play it again Cause I love you still Baby this can't be the end. We had it all Just like Bogie and Bacall Starring in our old late, late show Sailing away to Key Largo Here's lookin at you kid Missing all the things we did We can find it once again, I know Just like they did in Key Largo We had it all Just like Bogie and Bacall Starring in our old late, late show Sailing away to Key Largo
