We had a sure thing, baby
There's no way we could ever lose
We took off like a rocket
There was no stopping me and you
We burned our way into the night
We were bound for heaven
The future looked so bright
Oh, where did it go?
Tell, where did it go?
Without you, baby, here with me
The future ain't what it used to be
I'm lost forever on a stormy sea
The future ain't what it used to be
Now I walk alone
Through the city of broken dreams
Every path's a blind alley
Every road is a dead end street
You know I'd give anything to be holding you now
And we could find our way back to yesterday somehow
Oh, where did it go?
Cause I'm missing you so
Without you, baby, here with me
The future ain't what it used to be
We're lost forever on a stormy sea
The future ain't what it used to be
Tomorrow will come no matter what I do
(The world keeps on turning)
But it don't mean a thing
If I'm living without you
Without you
Living without you
I can't take any more
Living without you - yeah
Without you, baby, here with me
The future ain't what it used to be
I don't need a cristal ball to see the future
Without you, baby, here with me
The future ain't what it used to be
We're lost forever on a stormy sea
The future ain't what it used to be
