When We Were One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whatever happened to you and me?
When I think of all the things
We've said and done
All those promises have been broken
Whatever happened to me?
The grass was never greener
When we were one
The skies were so blue
When we were one
Every step we took was a bold one
When we were one
When we were one
Whatever became of the love we had?
Just like a ghost you disappeared
Sometimes when I'm walking in the dead of night
I swear to God you were here
The grass was never greener
When we were one
The skies were so blue
When we were one
Every step we took was a forward one
When we were one
When we were one
Whatever happened to you and me?
Whatever happened to you and me?
I could have been your lover
I could have been a father
I could have been your reason
Whatever happened to you and me?
The grass was never greener
When we were one
The skies were so blue
When we were one
Every step we took was a forward one
When we were one
When we were one
When we were one
When we were one
(repeat 4x)
Whatever happened to you and me?
