The Way We Were Before

I know a place in Italy

It’s by the sea

Where we can make it all brand new

I know a place for you and me

We can be free

We’ll make those things we said come true

With marigolds, and lemon trees; with birds that sing

You’ve never seen the sky so blue

From Florence

We’ll drive to our getaway

Sitting on a shore

We’ll feel so alive

We’ll fall in love

Just like the way we were before

I know a place where we can go

Let’s take a flight

We can pretend we’re bride and groom

And Vladimir

Will play his piano

Into the night

We’ll hear the songs come in our room

We’ll have Bellinis

And Canalettos

And smell the pines

Let’s go when the orange blossoms bloom

From Florence

We’ll drive, to our getaway

Sitting on the shore

We’ll feel so alive

We’ll fall in love

Just like the way we were before

We’ll fall in love

Just like the way we were before
